Message: <blockquote data-quote="FireLance" data-source="post: 5855273" data-attributes="member: 3424">I wonder whether another possible way to manage "encounter" level powers for martial characters is to have a random chance of fatigue*, expressed as a -2 to attack rolls, until he takes a short rest (or whatever is the equivalent in 5e). I see this as having two advantages: 1. It encourages martial characters to delay a bit before using their more powerful attacks, preventing early novas.2. A martial character could be allowed to attempt "encounter" level powers as many times in a fight as he wants, risking increased fatigue each time.In addition, you could have a "Practised Maneuver" feat which allows the character to use a single maneuver once per encounter without risking fatigue - allowing for 4e style encounter powers.* Quick and dirty suggestion: If an AEDU character of the same level has N encounter powers, the chance of fatigue should be [100 - (20 x N)]%.</blockquote>
