[QUOTE="Lacyon, post: 4157751, member: 63046"] Something like that is reasonable. Obviously, if you're expected to fight multiple 'standard' encounters per day, they can't be predicated on [I]everyone[/I] using a daily, because then you wouldn't have any left for the second encounter. But the idea that maybe one will be used - particularly if the fight is going poorly due to bad rolls or whatever - fits. (Similarly, they're probably balanced on the idea that about half the characters will use an Action Point in a given fight, assuming the 1 action point per two encounters is still the expected average). Mearls stated on his blog that one of the reasons he put the challenging level 4 black dragon at the end of the fight was to show that PCs who saved their dailies (and had good teamwork, and had a bit of luck) had a chance of taking on something that would otherwise be out of their league. The implication, then, is that this is supposed to be an option most of the time, so regular fights probably aren't going to require dailies for the PCs to ultimately prevail, barring bad luck or poor matchups.
