It would not apply because even though Hunter's Quarry apply retroactively after all the attacks are rolled when making multiple attacks, the extra damage is still in addition to the attack's damage and this damage occured before the effect in the Hit line the way its parsed and perioded. In retroaction, when the target was damaged it wasn't under the effect of Marked For Death.





SvG. You can apply HQ at the end of a round, and certainly when you decide to apply HQ, it has been under the effect of Marked for Death.

Actually HQ is even weirder then that, by strict RAW. If you can make make multiple attacks in a round, not turn, you wait to apply HQ till after all the attacks are rolled. That means that if you have Immediates you might use, you have to wait to apply it.

By that argument you wouldn't even need immediate actions because you could always have the chance for an opportunity attack.

True, I didn't think about that. HQ is just really badly written.
