Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheGogmagog" data-source="post: 4604215" data-attributes="member: 27702">Is the Fighter’s Combat Challenge an Opportunity Attack?I’m making my first fighter and noticed something new (to me).  These are two separate attack types.  I needed to calculate two attack bonuses for Opportunity Attacks and Combat Challenge attacks because the fighter feats don’t apply to OA’s, just CC.  On top of that a recent issue with immediate actions made something else catch my eye.Opportunity attacks are not Immediate Actions, since they can be take for each creature that provokes them and are not limited to one per round.  Combat Challenge is an Immediate action, so therefore it’s not an Opportunity attack?  This would mean that a fighter does not add his wisdom bonus Combat Superiority to Combat Challenge attacks.  Likewise the general feats like Blade Opportunist or Combat Reflexes would not benefit Combat Challenge attacks.If all this is right, wouldn’t a fighter with a marked opponent take an Opportunity Attack for the target making a ranged attack AND make a Combat Challenge attack for attacking someone else?  Same if they shifted first and get stopped by CC, then do something else that would normally provoke an OA. [edit: I see what Snotboy and Jonathan Moyer were pointing out, I was still confusing CC attacks and CS advantages for OA.  CC doesn't prevent movement]Taking the Immediate Action rules (PH268) into account, a Fighter that marks several targets can only take the special Combat Challenge attacks for shifting or attacking someone other than you against one of them.  He can still take normal opportunity attacks against each foe that provoke them like making ranged attacks in melee.</blockquote>
