Swinging a Chandelier to ignore difficult terrain, for example, could be a move action. Swinging a Chandelier to charge an opponent would be a standard action (but give all the benefits of a charge, plus the "ignore difficult terrain" part for purposes of the charge)Generally, if there is already a similar working power, pick any of the following (~1 for at will powers, ~2 for encounter powers)- Increase the action time. (Minor or Move to Standard)- If power deals damage, the stunt doesn't. - Failure causes a penalty (typical example: stunter falls prone)- Provokes an opportunity attack. - Circumstances can't be replicated in the same encounter (Chandelier drops, table breaks, opponent's don't fall for it again)Stunts can give the following "perks": - Deal damage (typically with an improvised weapon)- Target multiple creatures- inflict a condition (like immobilized, dazed, blinded, prone)- Push/Pull/Slide target- Ignore Difficult Terrain/Obstacles/EnemiesCompare with powers to determine the type of action, and further drawbacks imposed, as described above.You might want to assign point values to each of the above entries. A standard action might be worth 2 points. A minor or a move action is worth 1 point.A Immediate action is worth 0 points. Damage (2 pts)Minor Condition (1 pt): Immobilized, -2 penalty to attack, ProneMajor Condition (2 pts): Dazed, Stunned, -5 penalty, Target caught fire (save ends)Ignore Obstacle or Terrain (1 pt)Negates Opportunity Attack (1 pt)Grants Bonus to next Attack (1 pt)Affects two Targets (1 pt)Push, Pull, Slide  Target 1 square (1 pt)Push/Pull/Slide Target [Ability Modifier] squares (2 pts)Minor Effect on a miss (two times the normal cost)Provokes Opportunity Attack (-1 pt)Causes Penalty to stunter on Failure (-1 pt)Always causes penalty to stunter (-2 pts)Can't be replicated (-1 pt)</blockquote>
