[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4486788, member: 710"] Of course you'd want to compensate for that. I suppose one compensation might be that powers with the Reliable keyword are rerolled on a miss (only one reroll per power - reliable powers are expended if you hit just once) I like the recharge idea and want to [s]overcomplicate[/s] expand on it: How about this: o Each miss with an encounter or daily improves your recharge rate by one (starting with no chance to recharge) o Each hit with an encounter or daily power reduces your recharge rate by one. o You can only recharge if you use an at-will power or basic attack, or spend a standard action for it (if for some reasons, you don't want to attack) o if you successfully recharge, the rate is set back to "7", as in no recharge possible. So, if you miss with your first encounter power, you have a Recharge value of 6. If you miss with your second, you have a Recharge value of 5. If you hit with your third, it goes up to 6 again. If you now make an at-will attack, roll 1d6. On a 6, you recharge one encounter power (I suggest: Lowest level first, to avoid people always trying to get the better one) You might want to rule that dailies improve your recharge rate by 2 instead of 1 point.
