[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 5573727, member: 42582"] LostSoul, I think your description of the 4e variant is, perhaps, a little sparse - because of your footnotes in your first description, it's a bit hard to tell how much of the original narative is essential to the resolution and how much colour - for example, why does Martial Awareness cause the hairs to rise on the back of the neck when a successful roll is made, but Passive Perception not? And presumably the grappling hook can appear out of nowhere, Kronos be a wily mage and so on in regular 4e. The spider climb would also give a bonus to resist being pulled off the wall in 4e, because it would mean that the climbing target doesn't grant combat advantage. The main thing that I can see in your hack description that clearly wouldn't come into play in regular 4e would be the description of the grabbing of the sword hand. I also agree with your comment about earlier outcomes affecting subsequent resolutions - in 4e this tends to be confined to the imposition of conditions or to the resolution of forced movement, which is not all that fine grained.
