Has anyone
come up with, or do you know of, a simple "addiction" mechanic
for d20? I'm looking for something to model the risk of One
Power addiction in a new channeler.

How about
rather then making making channeling an addiction, adjusting
the "favored class" rule.
To reflect the concept in the
book that using the One Power is so compelling that once you
start, you can't stop (without creating a bunch of OP junkies
out there), a channaling character has to have their combined
channaling class levels be greater then non-channeling class
levels, or the character has an XP penalty.
However, a
character who multi-classes into a channeling class from a
non-channeling class wouldn't receive this penalty but would
have to take every level as a channeling class until
channeling levels top non-channeling levels (or they do get
the XP penalty).
I think this is in spirit with the
novels, where once a character uses the One Power, it becomes
a focus of their existance. But as Aes Sedai demonstrate they
don't have to use the OP for everything.

An
interesting idea, but what I'm looking for is something to put
a real fear of dangers of channeling into our soon-to-be
Novice PC.

have them
roll a will save every time they want to relase the
power..failure means they keep hold of it or drastic failure
means they use it on somthing trivial like fetching a drink
with arms of air. in this way many failed rolls could result
in over channeling and possible stilling (but only if they
failed alot of rolls)
