Just some comments on your "negatives".When we played, the DM just had the players track marking. It was their PC's ability and thus their responsibility. On the DM's turn, he would just ask which monsters were being marked and resolved their actions first (usually attacking those who marked them), then he would deal with the rest of the monsters. It was pretty easy for him to manage. I would shift some of the responsibility for marking back to your players and that should make it easier to manage.While I think that the game is largely designed for us with minis, I found that no more true than with 3e. And my group had little trouble managing marking and conditions. So little in fact, that I think I could run mini-less 4e without too much trouble. I think I'll try it once the books come out and post my thoughts.I agree that the cleric was very helpful. The little healing kicker that the cleric added to healing surges made a big difference and really saved the day several times in my 4e game.And that last thing I'll add is that the new saving throw isn't really a save in the traditional sense, its more of a determination of duration.</blockquote>
