I see them as RP opportunities. Sadly (from DMing) I know that I am in a minority. And I say 'sadly' 'cause I think powers offer a lot of RP & character potential. But hey, that's not for everyone.The thing I LIKE about dailys is that you get to look for an answer as to WHY they're a daily. And I find it's often different for each daily. Sometimes it's a physical thing. Think of Riggs dislocating his shoulder to get out of a straitjacket. Hurts like hell. You do NOT want to do that too often. Eventho once it's popped back in you can still function ok.Sometimes it's an environmental thing - the bad guy has got to be really bad/threat really high for you to be able to get into the mindset for Villian's Menace. And once you've done it, you need to chill out to shake it out of your system before you can do it again. It messes you up, not physically but emotionally.For Blinding Barrage I always had it that my rogue carried around a whole bunch of shuriken, pepper powder & flash bombs stowed in a very particular way on his person and after he's used them, it'd take hours to get the whole thing prepared & set again.I see at-wills as a part of a character and encounter powers as tricks and big techniques of their fighting style. But with dailys - I see them as OUTSIDE the character. Things that are only nominally at their command.</blockquote>
