For example, if the system assumes an average hit probability of 50 %, and an encounter power deals twice the damage (assuming a purely damaging power is somehow balanced on "average" with damage + effect powers) at heroic tier then an at-will power deals, you could reduce the hit chance to 25 %. (-5 penalty). That are a few iffs, short-cuts and some averaging involved, of course, which still might make some powers a little better, or (which might not that bad) be better in certain situations.I am fairly certain that the designers have a few guidelines regarding this, but I am not sure if they are solid enough. In either case, the rules are more complicated - and in the end, you're basically adding a complex framework of rules to achieve the same as in the original, basically just attaching an illusion.</blockquote>
