[QUOTE="Dannager, post: 5600419, member: 73683"] You said "To Mark someone you have to at least appear as a threat in my opinion." Even if the Fighter is temporarily unable to reach his opponent, that doesn't make him not-a-threat, suddenly. He is still threatening, in the sense that in about six seconds he will be bearing down on you with an axe. There are a number of attacks in D&D which don't involve dealing damage. Those can still mark. Because marking a target isn't a function of dealing damage to that target. If that were the case, the Fighter's mark ability would read something like, "You apply your mark whenever you deal damage with an attack to an enemy." Again, making it more difficult for your enemy to hit anyone but you can be accomplished in any number of ways. Injuring your enemy is only one of them, and it's narrow-minded to use that sort of justification for preventing a player from doing something that is both plausible and well within the rules.
