[QUOTE="Arctic Wolf, post: 5939695, member: 6686199"] Well I do enjoy the system 4e has I think it could of been a bit better. Of the ways I have been pondering how to improve it, here is the best I have come up with which may make vanician (sp?) even happy: All characters have an at-will ability of the power they are given so they can still do something. [B][I][U]Characters have a certain number of encounter powers they can use each day[/U][/I][/B]. This way we can show that while they can perform these powerful feats, they can only do so many of them in a day. I also think that martial characters should have more encounters than casters because you could allow casters to have dailys. When a caster uses a daily, it is representing him gathering as much resources into one big attack. So if you were lvl 1 a fighter would have 5 encounters and a wizard would have 3 encounters and 1 daily. Here is an example for a utility and an attack I made up/used. Burning Hands Prayer At-will 1d6 At-will Ally gains +1 to anything until end of turn Encounter 2d6 Encounter Ally gains +5 to anything "" "" Daily 3d6 Daily Ally gain +10, doesn't crit fail on a 1 "" "" As you can see the wizard can choose to use a small portion of his power with the at-will to kill one kobold or crank it up and use one of his encounter slots to kill a handful or use his daily slot to clear an entire room. Same with the prayer ability the cleric has. The player can choose weather to do the min or go all in and destroy an enemy. What do you all think? [/QUOTE]
