Keith Baker posted a lenghty post in his personal blog regarding playing in Eberron when 4E comes out. Check it out at: http://gloomforge.livejournal.com/ Here is an excerpt:

Another difference is that the extra damage from Hunter's Quarry applies only once per round, while the curse may apply more times (if you make several attacks against a curse foe, for example after using an action point).

Oh, I found my answer in another thread. Sorry for the spam. Quote: Everything is cubic. If it's a burst 1 ability it affects the main square and all the squares around it. If its a burst 2 ability, it affects the main square and two squares around it. Etc... Not sure how lightning bolts would...

So if he finishes his turn 3+ squares away from where he started it, he gains the effect? Edit: And another question - what benefits concealment grants in 4E?

Okay, diagonal movement now costs 1 point. However, does this apply to measuring distances for abilities/powers? For example, the Hunter may designate the nearest foe as its quarry. If he has a foe 5 squares away diagonally is he considered at the same distance as a foe 5 squares away horizontally?

Duh! Figured this out 5 minutes after I posted. Of course!

Looking at the character sheets, it seems that the ranged weapons have entries like: "20 squares normal / 40 squares max". I guess this means that you shoot up to 20 squares with no penalty and up to 40 with a penalty (-2, -5 or something). Can anyone that has played in the game confirm this...
