Test of Mettle vs. Test of Mettle

[BlueBlackRed]

What happens when two knights use Test of Mettle against the same target?

Do both work and the target gets to pick if he fails both saves?
Does the initiation of the second cancel the first because it's an attack (save or not)?
The most recent one the target fails the save against works?
Another option I've not seen?

My instinct is to go with the second, because whether or not it's an actual attack, it's not exactly playing nice.

Personally I can see 2 knights playing dueling SWACs, but only people who played Star Fleet Battles gets that reference.
(One knight uses Test of Mettle, then when he's about to get smashed another knight uses his Test of Mettle.)

Those 2 don't mesh.
means that the first Test of Mettle is ended by the attempt of the second.
And means that both Tests remain active.

None of these is as interesting as a Test of Metal, ideally conducted using the instruments from Guitar Hero.

The first knight uses that power on the second knight after that second knight kills the enemy? 'Cause, he was unchivalrous to poach his opponent?

Those 2 don't mesh.

Sure they do!

Knight 1 ToMs their enemy, and it fails the save. Knight 2 then ToMs the enemy, ending the first Test. Whether the enemy makes or fails the save on the second Test, the first one was still ended. If it fails, then it becomes subject to that most recent ToM.

My instinct is to say that the second Knight is in violation of the spirit of his code (as he's interfering with another Knight's challenge), and the second attempt fails, no save, AND spoils the first (as it was a hostile action on the part of another to attempt to initiate the Test). That's the in-character version. The metagame version is that the knights are attempting to game the system, which is generally a bad thing, and need some reasonable consequences for attempting it without first getting the OK from the DM.
