[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 5761396, member: 61026"] Since fourth edition doesn't grant any powers at 4th or 8th level (nor 14th, 18th, 24th, 28th), how about getting racial stuff then? I wouldn't change the milestones (which are a [U][I]party[/I][/U] achievement, not an individual [U][I]character[/I][/U] achievement); but how about these: - = : Level 4 / Racial encounter powers: = - Human: "Buck Up!" (No action) You may make a saving throw with a +2 bonus. This is in addition to any other saving throws you make. You may make this saving throw even if it is not your turn. Dwarf: "Stay At It" (No action) You may convert one move action to a standard action. You may only do this on your own turn. Elf: "Recheck" (Free action) Choose one Skill check that you have made during this encounter, or as your last action immediately prior to this encounter. You may retry that Skill check with a bonus equal to +2 (+3 at 11th Level, +4 at 21st Level). You must use the second result, even if it is lower. Halfling: "Step Aside" (No action) You may convert one minor action to a move action. You may only do this on your own turn. Gnome: "Despite Whatever" (Free action) You may make a Stealth check regardless of whether you have any cover or concealment. Beliefling: "Curse It!" (No action) You may treat one unbloodied enemy as being bloodied for the duration of one turn. Flagonhorn: "I'm Dangerous!" (No action) Any ally at least as far forward toward the enemy's position as you are gains flanking for the next attack it makes against an enemy adjacent to it, regardless of how far away you are from that enemy. Mixed-breed (Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Half-Centaur, Half-Minotaur, Half-Deva, Half-Githzerai, Half-Revenant, Half-Wilden, Half-Shardmind, etc.): Consult with your DM to determine which of the above benefits is appropriate to your character, and gain that benefit.
