[QUOTE="GoLu, post: 4322252, member: 58460"] Mark can mean "to single out". As a noun, one of its less common definitions is "a thing you aim at". Either way, being marked just means that your opponent is keeping you off balance or distracted. Having a fighter mark you is like having a [i]really big[/i] guy decide to get in your face. Or for halfling fighters, I guess it's like having someone walk by and drop a wolverine in your lap. Even if it doesn't seriously hurt you, you are going to be a bit distracted from everything but the wolverine. If you do run off, awesome. Except that it takes a round to calm down, recover your poise, and assure yourself that he's not following you. And after that you can take shots at other people with no penalty, because the fighter mark only lasts until the end of the fighter's next turn. (Also, reminder: The free attacks the fighter gets on marked targets are immediate interrupts, not opportunity attacks. Important difference.) [/QUOTE]
