[QUOTE="MatthewJHanson, post: 5983390, member: 13968"] Here are a couple ideas pulled from my book [URL="www.rpgnow.com/product/95195/Advanced-Encounters%3A-Terrain-Toolbox-(4e)?src=ENPost&affiliate_id=299323"]Terrain Toolbox [/URL] [SIZE="4"][B]God’s Blood (Sample Level 29) [/B][/SIZE][I]The slick silver liquid radiates divine power.

[B]Setup: [/B]Squares of god’s blood may be adjacent or scattered throughout the battlefield. There should rarely be more than six squares of god’s blood in any encounter. [B]Effect: [/B]A square of god’s blood is difficult terrain. A character may attempt to move through the blood at normal speed with a moderate Acrobatics (DC 31) check, however if the creature fails this check, it falls prone. A creature may attempt to draw power from god’s blood to use an at-will attack power from a divine power source or similar powers as a minor action. The creature must be on or adjacent to a square of god’s blood. Tapping into the power destroys the square of god’s blood.
