But instead of getting more power uses, characters just get more choices.Currently, this wouldn't be too big, but once more "splats" hit us, we will have a multitude of powers and feats to check out. If you really wanted, you could allow gaining higher level powers and more powers per day. I am not sure if a 29 level daily might be too powerful, though.Maybe one could use the tiers. Using a Paragon Tier power requires you to spend two "slots", using an Epic tier power costs three "slots". Or you do something even more different - allow people to "charge up" their slots with basic/at-will attacks or simply "non-actions": Spend a standard action to be able to use one daily power, or spend two standard actions to use one epic power.This reminds me of a thought of "where D&D 4 could have gone" - power learning could not have been linked so strictly to levels. Instead, everyone gets a "power repertoire", similar to a 3.x spellbook. You can learn new powers (similar to rituals in 4E) from other sources - training with a martial arts master or by attending a wizard academy - and just the level of powers is limited by your level, and how many you use per encounter or day is restricted by level.</blockquote>
