It isn't that the Paladin is running around the battlefield snipping at the creatures, it is that he is trying to drag the creature AWAY from whatever the monster is currently chewing on.The party has been split up, and the ogre is swinging its massive club at the vulnerable wizard Skamos. From across the field of battle Corrin, Paladin of Tymora, waves his sword at the creature and screams "Fight me, a worthy opponent! Tymora demands you fight her champion!" The Ogre is surrounded by the holy glow of Tymora, and leaves Skamos alone or risk the wrath of the goddess.Where the fighter defender defends by getting in the way of a monster before it gets to a weaker party member, the Paladin pulls creatures off allies. They are both defending, but with different flavorr. If the ogre ignores the challenge and takes the 8 points of damage, thats the monster's fault (and by extension the DMs fault). If DMs play monsters that constantly ignore the challenge and keep taking 8 points, then you've got a 'broken' DM, not a broken power.</blockquote>
