In resposne to another thread (link) regarding using Achievements as rewards and incentives to help newbies learn 4e game mechanics.
Here is some crunch I cam up with:
Player Achievement Powers
Achievement powers are small rewards to encourage and teach mechanics of 4e.
An Achievement power awarded to a player may be kept until activated, and are non-transferrable.
All Achievement powers are single use consumables, and can only be awarded once per character.
Whenever a Player Achievement Power is used, in addition to the use of the power, the player gains XP equal to a minion of the player's level - 2 (min 1).
