I couldn’t figure out a simple way to do it until I came up with the unified Exploit/Spells (E/S) hack. Now it’s easy but it will take me some time to think through the possibilities.  Some possibilities include: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Eladrin could have a Fey Step as a -2 Condition range zero safe blast they could apply as part of an attack (“I can’t believe Shem missed him but, one minute he was there and the next minute he was behind him. He just kept blinking in and out of existence…”)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">An Airborne might have the same -2 Condition range zero safe blast they could apply as part of an attack but it is defined as a hurricane force wind blowing off of him at whim.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Dragonborne could have access to a short ranged blast even if they were not a Mage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Firebore could have a range zero safe blast defined as “He just burst into flames!”.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">…and so on.</li> </ul>The possibilities are endless…and easy to adjudicate…I just need to do some thinking about how to define it.  For the E/S hack itself, it just doesn’t feel done to me yet. There are also some Spells that are not defined that maybe should be Mage only or defined as Wuxia powers in some way. I’m just not sure yet. I’m also contemplating rolling Heroism into the E/S hack. Another thing that hit me was the possibility I could dump equipment completely by using the E/S hack as the baseline for attacks with “suitable equipment” and armor as a Condition based on the same. I’m still exploring that. It sure would make the game more compact. T'would be a little scary if it doesn’t reduce the overall compatibility with 4e… WildWalker</blockquote>
