It can be treated as a metagame "token" or "Fate Point" played by the player to produce a desired outcome for the PC.A more banal example would be the Brutal Strike fighter power in 4e. There is nothing at all wrong with playing your fighter on the assumption that every strike is intended (by the PC) to be as brutal as possible, but only when you (the player) choose to activate the Brutal Strike power is a hit going to deliver 3W+STR rather than 1W+STR.This idead of encounter and daily powers (especially martial encounter and daily powers) as metagame resources for the player, rather than ingame resources for the character, is part of their appeal for some (perhaps many) 4e players.</blockquote>
