One character: many marks

Let's say you have a fighter/warpriest level 16. The warpriest reads
PHB said:
When you hit an enemy with an at-will melee attack, you can choose to mark that enemy for the rest of the encounter. The next time that enemy shifts or attacks a creature other than you, you can make an opportunity attack against that enemy.
Say the fighter/warpriest hits with an at-will attack (which would include a basic attack yes?) and chooses to use this marking power. Now that target shifts. Can the fighter/warpriest take two attacks (one immediate and one opportunity?)

How about a similar situation with a fighter who has MC to paladin?

only one immediate action per turn, OAs are immediate actions. Sorry

No, OAs are not immediate actions, they are opportunity actions.

You can only take one opportunity action per -turn-, and one immediate action per -round-, neither of which on your own turn.

Warpriest marks the opponent, and now it shifts.

You can use Combat Challenge to attack the creature as an immediate action, -and- Warpriest's Challenge adds an opportunity attack to it on top of its normal mark, so you can use that as well.

However, both attacks should be done distinctly, and seperately. Declare it -before- you roll. With Warpriest's Challenge, -its- attack will get +Wis to hit and will end the opponent's movement due to Combat Superiority. The Fighter's Combat Challenge -does not.-


Now as per Divine Challenge... you'd only get the one immediate interrupt attack for it shifting, because Combat Challenge only cares that it is marked, not the method. This would not stop or alter the movement of the creature in any way, because Combat Superiority only cares about Opportunity Attacks.


Most of the confusion involved here comes from a simple fact:

Combat Challenge has nothing to do with opportunity attacks. It neither triggers them, nor creates them. It is an -immediate action- and you only get one between the end of your last round and the beginning of your next round.
 

I was under the impression you can only have one Mark on a creature at a time. So, warpriest or fighter, which mark do you want on him?

Warpriest. It lasts the entire encounter, and works for both the warpriest side and the fighter side. Combat Challenge just says "a creature marked by you" not "a creature marked by your Combat Challenge."
