Including a recent fixation on trying to make magic items out of chaos energy.When the PCs were in the tower on the Elemental Chaos, at one point the drow tried to force chaotic energy into a gem, to create a Polyglot gem of speaking Primoridal. In the course of the attempt, as the power threatened to overwhelm him, he used Slaad's Gambit (a reactive psychic attack) to try and take mental control of the chaos. And succeeded, but Slaad's Gambit also has a teleport effect, and he found himself teleport to the hidden room within the tower - which then led to a hunt for him by the other PCs, even as he searched the hidden room and found the lich's physlactery, protected by a Symbol of Death. . .He's a good player to GM, always pushing things along, and I'm still enjoying 4e as a robust and flexible system for adjudicating this sort of stuff. (For example, I don't need detailed rules for what a chaos sorcerer can or can't do with bottled elemental fire - when it comes up I can just use the DC and damage charts and run with it!)</blockquote>
