Simple stunt system

[Kzach]

I remember reading something about stunts in 4e but can't for the life of me find it or remember much about it.

So, assuming there isn't a stunt system, I decided to develop a very simple rule for it.

Using either a basic attack (no powers) or a skill, describe the stunt you want to achieve and roll an attack roll. The DM decides what defence to use against the stunt.

If successful, everyone gains Combat Advantage against the creature until the next turn of the person who performed the stunt. No damage is accrued by the use of a basic attack, the result of success is the benefit.

Thoughts?

At first blush, this seems like a good idea. I suppose we need to wait and see how many abilities/powers/feats key off of CA before seeing if trading one attack for it is balanced.

If CA is too good, the reward could be morphed into something else.
