[QUOTE="Nyronus, post: 5650437, member: 93419"] Well... that's rather lame of you to do. Considering the ammount of feats one needs to invested to make this trick worthwhile and considering it can be replicated by taking an already great paragon path, it's hardly broken. There really is no reason to ban it outright. Furthermore, if we take the "Fighters Need to Use Their Class Features For A Mark to Mean Anything" route you kind of nerf a lot of generic marking stuff. The bard at-will that marks enemies for someone else is kind of worthless then, or is atleast totally outclassed by the other power they have which just straight up gives the enemy a -2 to all attacks. Finally, it isn't RAI, its a house rule. RAI means "the intent is obvious, the writing is crappy." That is not the case here. The fact that the fighter can use any mark to trigger his ability is probably a feature not a bug, particularly since they A) Never named his mark and focused his feature around delivering said mark, which they did with all other classes, save the Warden. If only one class operated that way it would make sense to call it a fluke, but a deliberate repitition implied intent. B) published materials allowing him to and other classes to spread generic marks which would be somewhat worthless unless some classes could interact with generic marks. [/QUOTE]
