[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 5158820, member: 53980"] One of my players isn't a big fan of dailies, so I'm curious what the consequences of allowing the players to replace their daily powers with encounter powers (of lower or equal level) might be. It isn't that he hates or doesn't use his dailies, but he definitely seems like he'd be happier if he had the option to replace them with encounters. To illustrate, at 1st level, players would have the option to select a second level 1 encounter power instead of a daily. At 5th level, instead of selecting a level 5 daily power they could choose an additional level 3 (or 1) encounter power. So on and so forth... My best guess is that it would enable the creation of characters with better mid-range performance, at the cost of emergency "burst." In other words, characters with good general encounter performance but less ability to adapt when the :):):):) really hits the fan. It's a rather significant alteration and I don't want to overlook anything that might lead to abuse, so I'd appreciate any insight or (better yet) actual experience with such a house rule. Thanks!
