With new players I normally dont start with the daily. And in some cases without the encounter power entirely. Those cuts are made to mantain simplicity and usually last 2-4 combats.

I wasn´t aware of that. I only DM'd for a Knight on the Heroic Tier and it felt more powerful than de fighter, although more dull.

I thought the whole point of the essentials was to give the option to play 4e classes that are as powerful as the previous ones, but much simpler to handle. That's what I would do if a 10 year old would join us, adults. Or any other player that wasn't ready or unwilling to handle the complexity...

What does it mean "big brother/little brother feel"?

Another way to keep 4e progression, remove the overwhelming options (apart from Essentials) and level up is to: Remove magic item powers, or keep one. Remove consumables. Make two stacks of encounter powers, so you always have only two encounters to choose from. The player can change these...

What's you opinion on limiting yourself to the levels of 4E where you don't get that analysis paralysis? Wouldn´t that do the trick?

Gonna watch it tonight, thanks!

Thanks Raskinner, off the top of your head is good enough. This is a brainstorming post.

Thank you guys!

I always frowned upon the scenario of missing for a couple of rounds against a minion. I don´t like how they can waste so many PC actions, in such a non-fun way. So I added some options for minons: If you attack it, it dies This option makes it very easy and clear to see that the minions are...

Where/how can you get these APs these days? (I'm back from 6 years of not roleplaying)

Thank you Bawylie! Very inspiring! Anyone has another idea?

The final encounter on Keep on the Shadowfell has good reviews also.

In that sense, to make it cooler, I would drop the requirement to be attacked. Just have it as a Daily Minor Action (remember that daily usage of items is limited/capped) That way the player can choose when to become a flock of ravens, allowing him to make daring escapes or impressive entrances.

Personally I prefer the original power. Not because it is cooler than what was suggested. Of course not. But because it is more in line with the idea of the magic item: a cloak that protects. This particular cloak protects you by letting you fly away and become insubstantial. Nice. The power...
