There should be some sort of literal dynamic at the table explaining how the rules are becoming "the reality" of the game.Still, that sounds very Rule #0 Fallacy to me, where if the DM can somehow rationalize or houserule a fuzzy rule, it doesn't need fixing.If Fighter Gomez marks the Titan, he's being a badass Fighter (as so clearly defined earlier in the thread) and thereby fulfilling his role. So, Gomez and the Titan go toe-to-toe for a few rounds until Paladin Guillermo gets done mopping up the Titan's goons. When Guillermo joins the fray, as a rules-to-story dynamic, the Titan should (by all rights and reason) be susceptible to "double marks". For one thing, the Titan is now outnumbered and, for another, he just saw his goons get dusted. But when Guillermo issues the challenge, the Titan suddenly forgets about Gomez?It's kinda corner-casey, but it would happen, and the DM would be left in the cold trying to explain why Gomez just ain't so badass anymore?</blockquote>
