Special: Determine Good and Amazing success for each attack separately.[/sblock]The wound track is relatively easy: use the disease tracks as a guideline to build them.  Then, powers might shift you along the Stun, Wound, or Mortal tracks when they get better results.  I would definitely be hesitant to allow at-wills to move along any track but the Stun track.  The Mortal track basically replaces the death saving throws.EDIT: On further thought though, I'm not certain that the Alternity wound tracks are really necessary.  HP basically represent the Stun track, Healing Surges are basically the Wound track, and death saves are the Mortal track.  Personally, while I like the tracks, I don't think they're really necessary if you're going to make a 4E-style Alternity.</blockquote>
