<onlyinclude>As a move action, you may issue a challenge to a creature you can see. You may expend martial focus to reduce this to a swift action.

A creature must be able to perceive your challenge to be affected by it. The creature takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls that do not include you as a target and a +2 bonus on attack rolls targeting only you. This penalty (but not bonus) increases by 1 for every 4 points of base attack bonus you possess.

The challenge lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + 1/2 your base attack bonus. Creatures receiving this effect are aware of it, though do not gain insight to its duration.

When you issue a new challenge, any previous challenge you have active ends. Multiple challenges do not stack; if a creature is affected by challenges from more than one creature, they suffer no penalty against the source of any challenge against them and likewise gain the bonus against the sources of all of the challenges.

Creatures with no Intelligence score (Intelligence score of (-)) cannot be targeted by your challenge.</onlyinclude>
