So attacking and then retreating would still end the Divine Challenge, correct?   And what about forced movement that pushes the Paladin away from the foe?  Or movement that pulls/slides the Paladin towards the foe - can the Paladin back off to the original distance and maintain the mark? Or forced movement that pushes the foe away from the Paladin?    And does the answer to this depend on whether the Paladin is the one pushing him away or someone else? Second: What about the Paladin in my group who has multiclassed into Warlock and, once per encounter, does a Divine Challenge, followed by Eyebite and disappears from the target's view? I presume that the challenge stands (as it would under the current RAW) as long as he doesn't move away? Of course - given my desire to give the classes more flavor - I'd kinda like to see a dozen different versions of the Divine Challenge with the diety deciding what conditions are appropriate for the challenge. Perhaps Bahumut requires the paladin to directly confront the foe (must make a melee attack or mark ends) while Kord will not allow you to retreat in the face of adversity (cannot retreat from marked foe or mark ends).   Carl</blockquote>
