It could have been simpler without losing flavor or usefulness, while eliminating the temptation for the paladin to play chase around the battle field. I would have preferred something in the lines of:Divine ChallengeAt-Will Divine, RadiantMinor Action (sustain free)Target: One Adjacent CreatureEffect: Target is marked. If target creature makes an attack that does not include you during its turn it takes -2 to attack rolls, and suffers X damage. Divine challenge can be sustained as a free action, but expires if you do not end your turn adjacent to the target. You may only have one divine challenge at a time, and a creature may only be affected by one mark at a time (latest mark supersedes previous marks).Without knowing the design philosophies, it's hard to say if this melee only ability would fit the design or not, but it would be simpler.</blockquote>
