[QUOTE="Gilbetron, post: 5949690, member: 19811"] This is the approach I was thinking of (disclaimer: I actually like Encounter/scene and other abstract time measurements). Have different conditions that prevent the usage of certain powers. Have those powers create the condition. So: Face Punch: Punch the target in the face so hard they get knocked prone. Applies the "Tapped" condition. Roll a DC 20 Fort save to remove condition. A character cannot perform this power while Tapped. Replace the various system-specific stuff by whatever the system ends up being. This way there can be a very small set of Conditions original ("Fatigued", "Brain Freeze", "Wasted", whatever), but gives the option of creating new conditions if ever needed. If you want a power to be used more often, lower the DC to remove a condition. Plus this can tie into spells and other abilities that remove the condition. Seems like a good alternative, but does it satisfy the "verisimilitude" crowd? [/QUOTE]
