He doesn't draw any free attack, since he hits both of them. He's not restricted to melee, spells and spell like abilities ARE attacks. Furthermore, the paladin draws an AoO everytime he moves away from the monster, and if the monster shifts the fighter cannot stop him from reaching the paladin, as long as he has enough movement.So, even if the fighter gets a free attack on the monster, the monster gets a free attack against the Paladin. Seems fine to me.This tactic worked quite well because the dragon was several levels ahead of the PCs, thus most of them could only hit him on a 20. In this regard, the paladin's combat challenge was the steadier source of damage, since it didn't require an attack roll.</blockquote>
