[QUOTE="SJay, post: 4363848, member: 72494"] (first off note i realize you could do that if you were DM) But you need to read the whole bit: "On your turn, you must engage the target you challenged or challenge a different target. To engage the target, you must either [B]attack it[/B] or end your turn [B]adjacent to it[/B]." So it specifies exactly what it mean when it says "engage". Also the whole point of the clause is not "to give the enemy the option to attack you" because then they would have said just that you must "end your turn adjacent to it" and would have left out attacking it... by saying attacking it this means you either a ranged attack or a close attack then move away. The clause is just there to stop you picking someone who is no where near you and saying "you have to attack me" and then otherwise ignoring them. Once you start attacking them you are effectively engaged, whether you are using an axe or a bow or a spell... [/QUOTE]
