[QUOTE="Arlough, post: 5399945, member: 79335"] Sorry about the ramble, earlier. Distractions and interruptions lead to a less focused post. What I was trying to say is that Daily powers are your character taking advantage of that once per day opportunity. The reason why you have control of it is because in 4e, you are not the character. In 4e, you are the character's personal writer/director, crating a cinematic story telling. If you watch movies you will note that the hero doesn't use his mega-attack all the time. Wouldn't be cool, then. Also, if the attack required that someone gives the character that special opening, and everybody always gave that special opening, then the movie would be considered boring and unwatchable. Basically, I am saying that Daily powers are that 1/100 opportunity, but because you are the writer/director, you get to choose the exact moment that opportunity occurs to have the greatest climactic effect. My favorite, the Wuxi Finger Hold. Skadoosh. [/QUOTE]
