[QUOTE="Luinnar, post: 5647522, member: 44459"] As Living Eberron passed themes I thought I'd make a proposal. Wizards is continuing support themes with the upcoming Neverwinter book and Dragon articles (Heroes of Feywild and Kara Tur Oriental themes were mentioned at Gencon). Theme structure is generally: Level 1: Encounter power that is about as powerful as an at-will. Level 5: Small bonus like a skill bonus (usually non-combat related). Level 10: Usually a small bonus like a skill bonus (usually non-combat related). Neverwinter may be a bit different, I don't have the book yet. Darksun does not give you the level 5 & 10 bonus. Most theme have powers you can choose from instead of your class powers. So my proposal is to either: A. Allow themes from all sources (including Darksun). Themes that do not fit into the L4W setting MUST be re-flavored by the player if there are to be used in any way besides game mechanics (i.e. No Red Wizards of Thay, but you could be a renegade of another arcane academy). B. Allow themes, but by a case-by-case basis. I'm also willing to come up with some generic themes for those who don't have access to any of the materials if the judges feel that we should have them.
