[QUOTE="Thasmodious, post: 4546343, member: 63272"] Only to the unimaginative. This has been discussed several times already. Exploits are called exploits for a reason, they require a decently specific set of circumstances to pull off. Descriptive players and DMs should have no problem describing that with the encounter and daily exploits. Many powers lend themselves to this limitation naturally. Others require a bit of creativity. Another way to look at it is simply that your suite of encounter and daily exploits are representative of the style of fighting you're good at. Using those powers is just a representation of specific moments of brilliance, where things come together, over and above. Fighting with a big hammer, you are often making sweeping bashed and huge overhead blows. Sometimes, the situation is right, you find an opening and bam - crushing blow. Sometimes you set up the perfect opening and Brute Strike follows. That's what the exploits often are, just particularly good expressions of your fighting style. "You're always good with the spear Stabby Man, but when you feinted to the left to draw that orcs shield to the side and then faked a thrust at his right to get him to block and expose his chest to you, then ran him through, that was inspired!" "Aww shucks, Sneaky Girl, your eyes shure is purty." [/QUOTE]
