"House Rule" to re-frame the "one daily item power use per tier" (short version : forum ate my post)
Bring Forth Power!
All characters have a new power that can used once per day per tier : Bring Forth Power (BFP)
Basic effect: a character can apply the critical hit effect of a weapon or implement on a regular hit.
Advanced effect: magic items replace their daily powers with the same effect that can now be used by spending a use of BFP.
Additional new rule: items can only bear the strain of BFP once per day.
Why
The intent of the basic effect is to replace/reduce/remove the number of items which have a daily power that amounts to their critical effect.
The other intent is a simple ease of acceptability of the "one item daily power per day per tier" by re-framing it as a player ability.
What it breaks
Not much, other than the whole of the written text... If we had the rules in an editable format, this would be a simple case of "Ctrl+H", but alas...
What it adds
Not much. It's pretty much what amounts to a QoL improvement.
It could be seen to add a bit of design space - in that it's easier to play with character abilities.
For instance, we can now, add or remove a use of BFP for things such as consequences of a SC (or some very niche monster). It's also easy to see how giving one more use of BFP would fit the Artificer or an artificer-themed ... theme.
So yeah, I like it.
