In the case of the shadowcreep pillars, they would have melted before everyone had a chance to act if it lasted X turns, rather than X rounds! :D Of course, some DMs might be into that kind of thing... ;) Thanks for the favourable comments so far! ^_^ Some of my players are already suggesting ways to turn it into a nasty golem! “Turns” still exist in 4E in the technical sense (PHB 269), but they refer only to an individual character or monster’s actions (“at the start of your turn”, “until the end of your next turn”), rather than an entire initiative cycle (round).

Reminds me of the 1980s... And hey, it was good enough for Gygax and Arneson, right? More seriously, I appreciate the fact that this hazard references creatures from various sources.
