Not sure it's much better, but figured I'd mention.Or even if stick to as it is now, 3/6/9, and add 2/1/0 instead, would make a worst case mistake equal to the heightened alert level.Use of DC 18 very mathematically planned? Wonderingly mostly because the Hard DC would be 19, Moderate 12, and you use both of those DCs for Stealth/Perception checks later.I'd pick a different word than "Attack" for character action, just cause it implies rolling to attack, which doesn't actually happen. One alternate idea might be to require a successful roll for attack to work, and on a fail they take damage... with encounters and dailies doing more. Though as a warning there are certain character types where the encounter/daily divide works a bit oddly (PH3 Psionics and some Essentials, notably). But, I can see where you might find that troubling to get too precise. Set Ward - so if a Cleric (Religion) or Druid (Primal) want to do this, it uses Arcana? Also, I think restricting it to ritual casters is fine, rather than generically any non-martial. A goliath barbarian setting wards, but not an eladrin warlord? Eh.It feels like it could be a little easy for someone to be suddenly dropped by 3+ FR (as sensible as it is, of course), and fighting back will not necessarily help (very likely to take as much damage as they prevent).  A lot will depend on how hard it actually is to move around when needed I think... ie, if a PC is still dealing with 1 FR from wave 1 or 2 Outside the Lighthouse when 10-16 FR show up for wave 2 or 3... do they need to make a Stealth 12 to get back into the Lightouse? (he's moving through his own location, which has an enemy in it)This is coming out this month, yes?</blockquote>
