We just started a new game and one of the players is playing a Knight. In the second game session he challenged his opponent. There is no save involved per the book (i don't have the book in front of me so I could be wrong) and there is nothing that says of opponent has responde to it. Am I missing something? How have other people run it? In this case the opponent's concept definately had him accpt the challenge so it wasn't an issue, just curious for next time.

Actually, it depends on what type of Knight's challenge the player used.
If it was the fighting challenge class feature then no, a save isn't necessary. All the creature must have is an Intelligence of 5 or greater, have a language of some sort, and have a CR greater than or equal to the PC's character level -2 (ie a level 5 knight could challenge a creature with a CR 3 or higher).
If it was the test of mettle feature then yes, a saving throw would be needed.
