[QUOTE="Darth Cyric, post: 4080521, member: 55722"] I don't need to be desperate to insult you. It's become far too easy for me to do so. I didn't read it because that's not what you said in the first place. On the other hand, apparently it's you who never read something. Namely, the [url=http://picasaweb.google.com/gertiebarden/4eCharacterSheets]character sheet for the Fighter[/url], which says under Race and Class features: [i]Combat Challenge: When you [b]attack[/b] you may mark the enemy, giving a -2 to attack targets other than you ...[/i] - The only way you're doing this from range is with a ranged weapon. In which case it becomes an example of an enemy who is aware of the fact that you're pelting it with throwing axes or crossbow bolts. Of course, since Fighter powers are generally melee, and you have to spend actions to switch from ranged to melee, this is not always an optimal tactic. [i]Combat Challenge: When an [b]adjacent[/b] enemy shifts, make an immediate basic [b]melee[/b] attack against them[/i] - Pretty self-explanatory. [i]Combat Superiority: +2 to opportunity attacks and enemies stop moving if a move provoked the attack.[/i] - Opportunity attacks: Attacks you can only perform if you actually THREATEN someone. Which means you're ADJACENT to them. Where did you get your misinformation, I wonder? Except, you know, that doesn't happen, as I outlined above. By this point, I wouldn't be surprised if you tried to tell me that water isn't wet. If the dragon flew out of the room and didn't come back, the encounter's most likely over, and so is the mark. If the dragon swoops back in, then most likely that Fighter who just gashed him (and that's IF the Fighter actually managed to hit him, which doesn't always happen, so I don't know where you got "love-tapping" from) is going to be the first thing on his mind. And all that time spent on the dragon flying out of the room is probably also time spent by the party to rearrange its formation. And all that is if the dragon even managed to escape the Fighter's threat range unscathed. You're not even trying. And I suggest you actually do some research before you come across as uninformed. Oh, too late. [/QUOTE]
