I could easily narrate them as a matter of tactical positioning and opportunity. I was in just the right position at just the right time at just the distance to use my rogue's Torturous Strike power. If you want to go even further, narrate it as your swiftblade's Penetrating Blade technique. Our plucky hero didn't use this power again during the encounter because those circumstances did not reproduce themselves for him to use that attack again.In other words, he didn't use the "groin kick" again because the same opportunity did not present itself. Likewise, my rogue doesn't use his Torturous Strike again because, once again, the same opportunity did not present itself. He never got into the needed position, his timing was off, he wasn't the right distance, whatever.Of course, that's not the only possible narration for why encounter powers work the way they do for the martial classes but it certainly is a feasible one and it certainly doesn't suspend disbelief any more than armor class, hit points, or combat rounds do.Incidentally, I also agree with Campbell that action points should allow you to "refresh" encounter or daily powers.Laterz.</blockquote>
