[QUOTE="Truename, post: 5789666, member: 78255"] My 4e group is Entering Eresh on Tuesday. I'm converting the 3e version myself rather than using the (imo substandard) official conversion. I'm planning to make a secret attack vs. Will (modifier TBD) as they enter, then hand out pre-prepared "roleplaying notes" to the ones who fail. The notes will say: "You have failed an attack vs. Will. "Effect: You feel a sense of peace and calm suffuse your entire being. You're still in possession of your wits, but have no desire to take aggressive action or disturb the status quo. However, you will defend yourself, reluctantly, if absolutely necessary. As the condition worsens (over the course of several days), you will lose the desire to do anything at all. "Roleplaying Challenge: Show these symptoms subtly at first and gradually ramp them up to be completely obvious over the next hour of play." I'm considering a follow-up note for when they leave Eresh. "The previous effect has been broken. You are overwhelmed by conflicting emotions and loss of control as your previously-suppressed emotions come rushing back. Roleplaying challenge: Your character isn't consciously aware of what's happened to him/her. Demonstrate your loss of control without explaining what happened." Since the effect ends when the heroes leave Eresh for the monastery, and there aren't any combat encounters before then, I don't foresee any significant problem. After the heroes return from the monastery, Balance has taken sick and her effect is no longer an issue. [/QUOTE]
