[QUOTE="Davedamon, post: 5266803, member: 93081"] Recently I've been DM'ing my own story for four of my friends and I noticed that they've not being using more advanced techniques (flanking, charging etc) or variation (one player pretty much only uses 2 at will abilities) They're all new to 4e and so it's taking them a bit of time to easy into it. But then I had an idea how to encourage more adventurous behavour; achievements. The idea is to come up with a list of actions that reward the play with a small bit of exp, plus throw in a few ones just for fun. This is what I've got so far: [B][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Achievement[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Description[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/B] [CENTER][CENTER][B][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Exp Value[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/B][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Dropping Like Flies[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Kill 3 minions on 3 consecutive turns[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]125xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]The Bigger, The Better[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Use a power, skill or feat to augment an allies encounter power[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]100xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Turn It Up To Eleven[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Use a power, skill or feat to augment an allies daily power[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]200xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Two Birds, One Stone[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Reduce two enemies to zero hit points using a single attack.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]170xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]I’m No Mother Teresa[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Heal each party member at least once between milestones[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]250xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Variety Is The Spice Of Life[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Use each of your at-will powers at least once during an encounter[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]150xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Lets Get This Over With[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Use an encounter power on your first turn[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]60xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]If It Works, Don’t Fix It[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Go an encounter without using an encounter power[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]80xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Clowns To Left of Me…[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Make an attack with flanking bonus[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]25xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]…Jokers To The Right[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Give an ally flanking bonus[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]25xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Elementalist[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Deal one of the following types of damage; Fire, Cold, Lightning, Thunder[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]30xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Spiritualist[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Deal one of the following types of damage; Divine, Necrotic, Radiant, Fear[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]30xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]Improvisational Theatre[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]During a role playing event, put on a voice[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][CENTER][COLOR=white][SIZE=2][FONT=Segoe UI]100xp[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/CENTER] I'm trying to come up with a broad selection, that while not impossible/tedious to obtain, the players won't unlock them in one session.
