[QUOTE="Victoly, post: 4306736, member: 35127"] Hi everyone, I'm playing a Fighter in a game of 4E that our group recently got going and I was giving consideration to multiclassing to Paladin at some point for roleplaying/character development considerations, but then started looking into the mechanics of it and had a few questions pop up. If my interpretation is correct, I should be able to use a minor action for Divine Challenge to mark one foe with my "Paladin mark", use my standard action to attack a different foe and activate Combat Challenge, marking it with my "Fighter mark", and then move adjacent to the subject of my "Paladin mark" (if I wasn't already adjacent) to fulfil the conditions of Divine Challenge. I'd have to mark a different target with Combat Challenge each turn, but so long as I remained adjacent to the target of Divine Challenge I could maintain two "marked" targets. The first foe would suffer the effects of Divine Challenge if it failed to attack me and the second would suffer the effects of Combat Challenge. This in itself doesn't appear problematic - there are already a number of abilities that let you mark multiple foes at once, so it's not as if there's no precedent for this. Where it gets potentially confusing is when you introduce Fighter and Paladin powers that "mark" targets. Common sense would dictate that enemies marked by Fighter powers suffer the effects of Combat Challenge and that enemies marked by Paladin powers suffer the effects of Divine Challenge. Does that sound right to everyone? It doesn't seem overly complicated to me, I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything obvious and/or important. I'm aware that I can only have one mark on each enemy at a time, as placing a new mark gets rid of the old one, of course. Thanks in advance for any advice! [/QUOTE]
