[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 4499576, member: 54629"] What can I say? I'm a powergamer, through and through. If I was a player, I'd love something like this. None of my players are powergamers though, so they might not like it. Well, I think this [I]does[/I] even things out. My experience so far has been that the odds are stacked against the PCs. Even low level monsters like goblins and kobolds have a lot of hit points and can high attack bonuses and high damage relative to the PCs. Plus monsters can recharge powers. Why not let the PCs? It's not like I'm turning all powers into at-wills. With encounter powers, they'll have a 1:3 chance of recharging, which is decent, but with dailies it's only a 1:6 chance. And they can only attempt to recharge one power at a time (one per round, in other words). If it got to be too much, I'd consider introducing some sort of cost (maybe make it a minor action to attempt to recharge or make it cost an action point or build some sort of "recharge point" system).
