[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 5139006, member: 19265"] I am looking at updating my 4e crit charts, but was wondering whether there is a list of 4e conditions somewhere in order of severity. Given I couldn't find one I will have a go. This list includes conditions, ideas from at-will powers and a few of my own ideas. At this stage I am looking mostly at melee attacks (will get more ideas from at-wills for energy attacks). All are considered until save ends (unless marked otherwise); though may have lesser degrees where it only happens for 1 round. [B]Marked[/B] Til end of next turn [B]Deafened[/B] [B]Ongoing 2 damage[/B] 2/tier [B]Pushed[/B]: 1 sq + 1 per 10 points the attacker rolled above target's def. [B]Prone[/B] [B]Slide[/B]: More for magic charts (and possibly piercing wpns). [B]Slowed[/B] [B]Armor damaged[/B] -2 AC (permanent til fixed) [B]Rattled[/B]: From Martial Power, rogue & fighter ability. [B]Struck[/B]: -2 to all d20 rolls using that body part struck (inc -2 speed if leg) (This one is a House Rule and explained more fully in sig link). [B]-2 to defenses[/B] [B]Pushed & Prone[/B]: Combo of 2 above. [B]Ongoing 5 damage[/B] 5/tier [B]Immobilised[/B]: Until escape [B]Restrained[/B]: Until escape [B]Dazed[/B]: Likely 1 rd, with save for more severe. [B]Struck x2[/B]: haven't come up with name yet, but looking at more severe 'struck' where penalty jumps to -4 or 5. (Thoughts)? [B]Weakened[/B] [B]Blinded[/B] [B]Smash foes weapon[/B]; Unless higher magic than attacking wpn? [B]Increased crit multiplier[/B]: We use x2 dam (not max), this would make it x3 for eg. [B]Helpless/KO[/B] [B]Stunned[/B]: Likely 1 rd, with save for more severe. [B]Dying[/B] [B]Petrified[/B]: Obviously this one won't come up too often ;) (May make an appearance on a mag crit chart)?? Here are some benefits I may also scatter for the successful attacker in the charts: [B]Gain temp hps[/B]: Like 'Invigorating' power in MP. [B]Grant ally free basic attack vs same foe[/B] [B]Follow through - free basic att vs adjacent enemy[/B] [B]Gain a free basic melee attack vs same foe[/B] [B]Attack only counts as minor action[/B] [B]Gain action point[/B]: Must be spent this enc [B]Reliable[/B]: Enc & Dailies aren't treated as spent. Looking at invigorating it might pay to have more effects be based upon a score (CON in this case)? PLEASE add comments if you disagree with the order (from 'not so bad' to 'crippling'). (In my old ones I underestimated the 'weakened' condition). Also add others (even unique ideas) that I may have missed. [/QUOTE]
