I want to introduce the ability for PC's to break out of the rigid constraints of the powers once in a while in ways that they think are cool. In short, I like rules that let you break the rules on occassion.

My answer is Action Points.
Here's an idea that I used, and it worked fairly well. Provide, as treasure, magic items that affect power recharge limits, either permanently or temporarily. For example: I planted an amulet that enhanced the recharge on a dragonborn character's breath weapon from an encounter power to a recharge power.
