Message: <blockquote data-quote="SteveC" data-source="post: 5249309" data-attributes="member: 9053">So I am writing up a Fighter | Paladin for LFR play, and I have a question about marking. I thought I understood things pretty well, but as I've been reading the different marking powers I have, I'm not so sure.Here's my issue. I have three methods to mark a creature: hit with a fighter power, use divine challenge and use a power which causes a divine sanction.Now if I use a fighter power, I obviously can't invoke my divine challenge or sanction, but in the reverse situation, if I divine challenge or sanction a target, could I potentially use my fighter combat challenge?My initial thought was "absolutely not," and I think that's RAI, but then as I read on, I see that both the challenge and sanction mention that they mark the target. Combat challenge  applies to targets you've marked, so I think it might be possible.I think the problem is that the fighter's mark is simply called a mark, while both paladin powers have unique identifiers, but also say they mark. If the fighter had an ability called "smackdown" that marked the target, and then their combat challenge said "any adjacent opponent you've applied you smackdown to who shifts or makes an attack that doesn't include you," it would be obvious.As I'm thinking about this, it sounds more than a little cheezy, but is there an accepted rule that would keep this from happening?So too cheezy? Or a ruling specifically against this? What do you think?--Steve</blockquote>
