I like this too. But I'm not sure I'd go into penalties and all that. I'd likely have the PC take a Persistent Condition. Each persistent condition would lower the PCs total Healing Surges per day by 1. After resetting your Surges at the start of each day, roll for each persistent condition...

Any ideas on using the Condition Track in 4e? How do you think it would affect gameplay? This is one of those things that I think would be a good fit for the DMG.

Amen to that!

Here's how I see the 5 min rest thing playing out... DM: "Okay, you've fought back the goblin horde. Now what do you want to do?" Human Cleric: "I suggest we take a 5 minute rest." Dwarf Fighter: "I agree. I'm using up some Healing Surges." Dramatist Wizard: (in character, of course) "We cannot...

Another good point, Will. I found the Buffy RPG to be perhaps the flagship of how to handle PCs at different power levels. The only complication this produces for 4e is that there really isn't anything in there that is as powerful as a Drama Point in Buffy. At least we haven't seen anything...

Not wanting to derail or anything. But I think what the designers have in mind is... Round 1: Fighter does 10 dps in melee. Rogue does 20 dps by sneak attack. Wizard does 4 dps at range. Round 2: Fighter does 10 dps in melee. Rogue does 5 dps in melee. Wizard does 4 dps at range. Round 3...

Losing a Healing Surge after taking a crit sounds good. I'd modify it so that you also lose a Healing Surge if taking damage equal to your Bloodied score. Maybe also slowing down the recovery from rest. Say instead of healing up full power you can only recover a number of hit points less than...

I prefer gaming with pen-and-paper as well. I'm a little disappointed because Mearls had stated previously that 4e would support play without minis. I'll hope for a clarification in the PHB or DMG but, honestly, pigs might fly before I see that. One group I ran 3.x for was very into minis and...

That was a brilliant deduction, Rodrigo! I hope I get someone like you in a group when 4e comes out. Looks like the grognards have a place in 4e after all.

I don't have the source on me at this time but one of the designer's blogs or the Design & Development articles addressed this concern. As I recall, the designer said that a party does not have to have all the roles filled but that it would be a little bit more difficult for them if they don't...

I think that 4ed will follow SWSE for multiclassing. I think that Power Sources will be equivalent to SWSE Force Points, although different classes will be able to spend/regain them differently. So a character will get X + 1/2 character level in Power Points each level (with previous levels'...
