[QUOTE="Greenfaun, post: 4214912, member: 55366"] Well, I don't know for sure because I still haven't gotten my hands on a playtest or anything, but it seems like the fun way (or the least-not-fun way perhaps) to handle this is to add it into the power cards system. Just print out little cards, or even half-cards or thin slips that have the effect on them, and hand them out when appropriate. For instance, monsters with lingering conditions/debuffs mean that the DM hands the player a little slip to put in front of them on the table, and when they roll a save they get to hand it back. Keeping it out in view would keep it from being confusing, and if you're already playing with power cards and maps and minis, adding one more fiddly bit wouldn't be any more of a hassle. It would be a little tangible reward for people using leader-type powers too, because they might get to hand out good slips to their fellow players, and that will foster group bonding because everybody wants the "+1 to attack" candy from the cleric. Trying to remember that you get +1 to ranged as long as you're standing within 3 spaces of the warlord is a hassle, but that same warlord handing you a slip that gives you the bonus a) is fun and b) makes you appreciate having him around.
