[QUOTE="Syrsuro, post: 4404483, member: 58162"] I think the answer is: Don't use Divine Challenge at the end of your round and especially don't use Divine Challenge on a target you either have not 'engaged' (attacked) or are not adjacent to at the end of your round. Use it at the start of your round or use it on adjacent targets or use it on targets you have already engaged. Or be prepared to argue for a house rule bringing the implementation closer to its pre-D&D experience wording (the need to engage the subject of the challenge was added, as I understand it, to prevent mark and run tactics. If you aren't going to use such tactics, the rule is not necessary imho). By the RAW if you challenge a creature and neither engage it nor end your turn adjacent to it, the mark expires and (for no reason I can see) you are penalized by the inability to use Divine Challenge the next turn.
