I do suspect that even more so than the other conversions this one will need a little coaxing attention, but... anyhow, so far the basic rule looks like:At-WillsMelee/Ranged powers that make 3+ attacks gain recharge 4 5 6 –or- hit half as many targets (round up)Area/Close attacks become recharge 4 5 6 –or- hit half the area (round down)Immediate action become encounter actions that recharge when first bloodiedMinor Action powers become 1/roundRechargeRecharge 5+ powers become encounter actions that recharge when first bloodiedAll other recharge actions increase the needed amount by 1Taking a pass over a few example solos:Changes:Black Dragon’s breath weapon would be once before bloodied and once again when bloodied, or possibly once, free when bloodied, then once a final time.Cloud of Darkness recharge 56 instead of 4-6.Tail Slash twice instead of at-willPrimordial NagaFlailing Heads makes three attacks.Spit Fire and Wind Slam 1/roundFreezing Breath 2xencounterTarrasqueFury becomes 1xencounterTrample becomes recharge 4 5 6Frenzy becomes recharge 4 5 6The 'proud nails' there are the dragon breath weapon, the tarrasque's fury, and aura powers in general. I left 'encounter' powers as is, but there's something a bit disturbing about having 2 elite dragons using frightening presence over the one, so there may need to be something done there.So, anyhow, I think I'll need to break out some more examples and map out the damage differences to make sure it's at least reasonably approximate. I suspect certain solos, like purple worms, will just break, but they're kinda stupid solos anyways <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
