I wanted to make a solo pre-4E adventure to introduce my girlfriend to the game, but found myself having difficulty designing interesting combat options. Like 3E, these situations will hopefully be easier to design for at slightly higher levels, but it's about my biggest worry so far, as I'm unsure how large a group I'll be able to get to play regularly(my regulars have joined the Marines...).Long term effects seem to be out for the most part, with the elimination of level drain in particular actually being one of 4E's design tenants. Admit it; level drain sucks. I've never seen it do anything other than frustrate players.We do have the hints of some possibilities, however. The stats for the Succubus have been released, and although she has a short-duration Dominate, she also has a longer duration Kiss ability that lets her keep someone charmed indefinitely as long as she ceases hostilities against it and kisses it once a day.</blockquote>
