I was reading another thread and someone mentioned how it is hard to rationalize/depict/understand how or why a fighter can only do something once per day.

The crux of the issue seems to be that it is a player choice to do so, not an exploit of the environment that comes up rarely.


Hence this thread. I'm hoping others will put their collective heads together to give some fluff for how dailies could make sense for the fighter to only activate them once per day that stay true within the rules. (i.e. a poor example would be "the fighter is honed to take advantage of the "perfect situation" that situation happens to crop up when he uses the daily. Unless the fighter somehow creates that situation, and only can do so once per day, this is not what activating a daily is for a player.) When a player activates a daily, it is the player's choice to do so at any given moment, and the fluff needs to support that.



I'll start with a couple to show you what I mean (and thanks to anyone who puts forward ideas).

1. The fighter has a great warrior as an ancestor. The ancestor can only provide brief glimpses of clarity when they are most needed, so the fighter calls upon him for battle advice, and so activates a daily.

2. The fighter must actually dislocate several joints to pull off a particular dextrous daily. It is painful and causes swelling that prevents those joints from dislocating again until they have been rested adequately.

3. The fighter's fortitude and strength is sufficient to do the maneuver only once a day. Think of a strongman contest. Maybe they can lift a car once, but after that, they've given their all. They are NOT lifting that maximum weight again until a nap and some breakfast.

4. The fighter's adrenaline reaches a crescendo. Like a 100 pound mom lifting an I beam off of her child's leg to escape a burning building, the fighter is only able to do this when the poop really hits the fan, and they are so driven by biochemical moxie that they step into another mindset entirely.
