[QUOTE="Anthony Jackson, post: 4386929, member: 73145"] This came up Keep on the Shadowfell (I may have made other errors, but it's irrelevant to the question at hand): I was playing the dragonborn paladin and hit the gnome sneak, who vanished. I then said I was going to use paladin's challenge to mark him, which got me a funny look from the DM, but seems legal. From what I can tell: [LIST] [*]Divine Challenge is a close burst 5. [*]Burst effects ignore invisibility. [/LIST] Normally, this makes sense, but in the case of a "single target in burst" effect, it has an odd effect. The DM wound up ruling that I had to target a square (which I did), which didn't seem terribly unreasonable to me, but I'd be curious about people's take on the official way to handle this. Other oddities: If a Swarm takes damage from Divine Challenge, does it count as a burst effect and thus trigger the swarm's vulnerability? Does a swarm's aura attack set off Divine Challenge? More generally, do auras set off divine challenge? For that matter, if you create a zone that attacks everyone in the area, does maintaining the zone set off divine challenge? [/QUOTE]
