[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 3958568, member: 5143"] Not me. It's a game I play to have fun. If the game is more fun, more exciting and more interesting if all of the characters can only use their powers once per encounter, then I'm willing to accept any excuse at all. Yeah, in the Races and Classes book it says that they didn't like the fact that you could renew powers during combat so they made it so it was impossible to renew them during an encounter(Because they felt that the "when to renew your powers game" was a subgame within D&D that they didn't want players to have to play. Originally they thought it might be fun to have card-game like mechanics, where you get to choose when to renew your "hand" of available powers. Later they decided that this game within a game didn't add anything). It goes on to say that Fighters don't draw their power from some mystic source that can only be used so often or they have to wait for it to come back or something. It's simply a matter of enemies not falling for the same trick twice. So the rules don't allow you to use the same trick more than once against a given group of enemies(an encounter). It also gives me the impression that there won't be a renew mechanic at all, it'll simply be that from the time you roll init until there are no more enemies around you can only use a power once. When you roll init again you get all your powers back. They may include a line like Bo9S did saying that outside of combat powers can only be used once every 5 minutes. I'm guessing that they might as well just be at will outside of an encounter though. [/QUOTE]
