Well, that's why defenders get to do more than just apply a -2 penalty. Paladins get to throw a nice hit of radiant damage if the mark-victim attacks someone else. The two-handed-weapon fighter from KotS gets a free attack if an adjacent marked enemy attacks someone else. The weapon-and-shield fighter from DDXP gets super-OAs that halt movement.Ian O'Rourke said:This is what puzzles me, if -2 is the only negative he may well still be better attacking Roges, Rangers and Wizards, etc.
And of course, OAs in general help them out by discouraging enemies next to them from moving towards the wizard or using a ranged attack. And fighters get +2 to hit with those OAs.
