Thus, you can't adopt a stance and concentration on a spell simultaneously. Does this bork Paladins or Rangers? Maybe. Though I think the option to use one or the other is a tactical decision that adds to the game. It keeps War Clerics from casting Bless and then stacking a saving throw stance at the same time. But it doesn't interfere with a Paladin's aura.
This is pretty much what I was thinking. And I would make the argument that this is how hunters mark should work.
