[QUOTE="eamon, post: 5003868, member: 51942"] All marks do: For instance, a is ranger marked by a fighter. If he uses twin strike to attack the fighter and someone else, the attack against "someone else" currently violates the mark. A monster that has a multiattack currently needs to attack the PC by whom he is marked with [I]all [/I]attacks of that multiattack or take a -2 penalty (and suffer class-dependent additional effects) on all attacks that don't target the defender. A creature can forgo attacks to avoid violating the mark, of course. In the general case, this is particularly complex; since multiattacks may include non-attack portions such as moving things around on the battlefield. Or, someone may use an immediate reaction or interrupt (or whatever) in the middle of the multiattack. In any case, multiattacks can't be simultaneously resolved, and that means that you can get into paradoxes if you consider the overall attack to not violate the mark if just one of the attacks targets the marker (i.e. the attack versus the marker turns out to be impossible or simply unattractive by the time it's made, or, the creature takes penalties that turn out to have been invalid since it later attacks the marker).
