Fourth Edition D&D: Entangle!
One PC in my D&D campaign is a druid, and while I'd like to convert to 4E when it comes out, I would hate for him to have to abandon his character. My solution will be to have a custom-designed druid class, which we can use until WotC comes out with the "real" druid specs later this year. Here's my take on the 1st-level druid spell "Entangle":

Entangle Druid Attack 1


You call upon grasses, weeds, bushes and even trees to wrap, twist and entwine your foes, holding them fast.
Daily ✦ Nature, Implement
Standard Action Area burst 8 within 80 squares
Target: Each creature in burst
Attack: Wis vs. Reflex
Hit: The target is slowed (save ends). If the target fails its first saving throw against this power, the target becomes immobilized (save ends).
Miss: The target is slowed (save ends).

Anything wrong with this?

Update: Edited to reflect Entangle's greater range and AoE in 3.5.

Encounter, yes?

Naw, daily -- just like Sleep, the spell it most closely resembles.

With that range/area, I agree.

I'd take out Implement, though -- isn't that generally a wizard thing? Just requiring SOME natural source for greenery is equivalent. I even like how you've adopted the 4e flavor-text style so fast.
