Because most of the people who disagree with you and dislike the Knight's challenges are so ignorant, they've never seen the concept of someone being called out to fight outside of a videogame. Talk about misplaced condescension...I'm willing to bet that most people who dislike the challenges are quite aware of the literary precedents - and that, in fact, is the reason they dislike the PHB2 version. Because there's more to an epic challenge, or putting your honor on the line, than a special ability that you can turn on like a switch, so many times per day. That might be a necessary way of simulating things in a computer game - where a mindless computer-controlled enemy won't be swayed by well chosen words or your force of personality - but around a gaming table, where you can - and should - role play the damn thing, it can easily be seen as a step backwards.</blockquote>
