Neither would I keep two tracks for daylies and encounters, so, if at a given moment the character has 3 successes, he can consider trying to garner a fourth one and delivering a daily in two rounds or blowing his successes with an encounter and reseting his count. I'm not sure I would want to keep count of failures either, it would diverge from the system's Skill Challenge roots, but I don't think it would make the concept overpowered and it would facilitate book-keeping.My concern is that against high-AC creatures, the characters may never be able to pull off many powers. I imagine an alternative could be to allow a character to take a standard action just to "position" himself, gaining an automatic success for the power-use count, but without hitting anyone. This could work well for magic too if you imagine the mage is gathering power round after round with maybe a flash or two escaping to hit a foe during that time. I don't know if that would lead characters to do nothing for 2 rounds to be able to deliver the same encounter power continually?Also, with the system only considering basic attacks, would that lead to a greatly diminished use of At-Wills?A suggestion to avoid having characters using the same power continually could be simply to prohibit the use of the same power just after its use. You may not get to a point where all powers are used, but, at least, you will have more variety (and, quite frankly, I don't think it is appropriate to use different powers continually when it would make sense to use a specific one more than once).Finally, I have concerns about scaling. It won't feel so different for 1st level and 15th level, except that the Encounter and Daily powers you be most often delivering will be higher-powered. The standard 4e system gives the high level character the ability to deliver Encounter powers continually for several rounds before falling back to At-Wills. Maybe allowing the character to start combat with a handful of successes according to level would offset that (or maybe it would render the system useless, approaching the original 4e system too much).Any thoughts?</blockquote>
