With magical or supernatural effects, it's often relatively easy to roleplay out or otherwise handle "off-label" uses of powers - I have a dragonborn Dragon Magic Sorcerer who, as a hobby, uses his breath weapon and fire resistance to sculpt glass... by hand. Purely a roleplaying thing, but fun nonetheless.
For the people who allow such uses of powers (i.e., not always strictly-by-the-book effects), have you ever seen or used martial powers to similar effect? Or do these characters generally need to rely on skill checks in your games for unusual maneuvers?
