[QUOTE="WSmith, post: 5120820, member: 106"] I have to say thanks to everyone so far. All the advice is helpful. Filthgrinder, thanks for the support. I was hoping since it would only be an encounter of about an hour or so that it would be a good way to jump into 4e and try it out. :) The conditions are something I am keeping an eye on, cause I can tell that can get out of hand very quickly. Which is why... ... the link RedBeardJim posted is pretty darn groovy. :) That's a good aid. Also, while we are on the subject, I remember reading a thread here a while ago about someone that made a quick character card that only had the most important info on it. The DM used it in a game and it worked really well. Does anyone remember that one? Lost Soul, I think I need some clarification on something you said... This might sound like an insane question, but is the overall theme of 4e to say "yes" to everything, including things like the above bolded text? Something I was reading, (not sure now, everything is a blur in the crash course) that you should try to say yes, (like Jim Carey in "Yes Man") to everything and find a creative way to make it work. If a power doesn't fit the creature, I would think saying "no" would be correct, like the ooze and the leg sweep power. In fact, I was thinking one encounter might be a "anti-arcane" zone in a dungeon where arcane powers don't work, or "anti-martial arena" where combatants duke it out, toe to toe, mano-y-mano, with basic attacks and wits and martial powers cannot function. Lost Soul, on a side note, do you still have the website of your games from a while ago with the miniatures and the coffee table and blocks and stuff? I loved looking at that pics. I am feeling more confident thanks to all the research and all the helpful posts by you guys. [/QUOTE]
