[QUOTE="SJay, post: 4370196, member: 72494"] Yes the challenge is "a dare, a test in a competition"... however that competition may mean different things to different paladins. Some (say paladins of Bahamut / Kord) may take the challenge to be a challenge of strength, to stand toe to toe and battle it out. With the purpose of either killing the foe or die trying. He's a paladin of honor and won't hide in the shadows. However some (say paladins of Sehanine / Corellon) may see the challenge to be one of wits, to use ones cunning to confuse the opponent. Here the paladin wishes to have the target commit to attacking them while keeping them off balance. To have the opponent scared of the shadows. Then others (say paladins of Melora / Avandra) may see the challenge of survival, to see who can last the longest. Here I think of a Rambo type, appear to them now and then to get them riled up (shoot them) but otherwise use you skill in survival to keep them busy hunting you as you pepper them with arrows. Different paladins will use there challenge in different ways. We're not talking about the old paladins who were all Lawfull Good and would never sneak up behind someone and stab them in the back. Now there are many paladin orders, one for each god, and they fight in the way their god would approve of. There is no way a god of stealth and darkness is going to want a paladin who walks up to an enemy shouting "Here I Am" and then stand next to said enemy and take a beating, this god would not encourage making yourself an easy target.
