[QUOTE="Regicide, post: 4322130, member: 67552"] You had a very good explanation but it failed to account for various things like multi-class who can mark multiple opponents oncer per encounter and who couldn't really take advantage of an opponent's openings. The fact that you can run away from the person that marked you, beyond their ability to follow, around a corner, but you STILL suffer the -2 to hit. The fact that you can't be marked by two people likewise makes no sense under your description, imagine being surrounded by 9 fighters yet somehow only 1 can mark you? Also lets face it, paladin marks are just plain weird since it's an unavoidable no-save compulsion. There really isn't any good explanation for them. They're also somewhat cumbersome to keep track of, particularly as a DM and 8 of the creatures can mark the party on top of the party marking them. The game would have been better without them.
