Currently playing a Starlock...my mark doesn't affect the target except by making it hurt. Some- not all- other classes' marks actually change target behavior. Hussar, your idea opens the door to ALL marks having an immediate- if temporary- effect on target behavior.
I think that's a good thing.
I can see where you're going with this. I wouldn't want it to get too out of hand, because marking isn't supposed to be a power per se, more of an addendum.
Maybe Starlock curses could give bonuses to things like intimidate. Or, maybe you could make an Intimidate check against a cursed target as a minor action. Success=target cowers. Probably have to wait until the baddy is bloodied first, or it would be too powerful, but, I could see the cursed guy getting really scared after being bloodied and give the Starlock a better chance of just ending the fight with an intimidate check.
