[QUOTE="infax, post: 4264772, member: 12784"] I have considered several aspects of the rule and haven't found out yet the answer for a question that has been nagging me for some time now: Why can't player characters use the same "encounter" power more than once in a given combat? That is not to say Encounter powers should become at-wills. Suppose a 5th level character has access to 3 Encounter powers. What I'm asking is what would be the impact to the game if instead of being limited to using the renamed Disarm once, renamed Trip once and a power that Slows the opponent for one round the character could use Disarm 3 times. What is the impact of allowing that to happen. Will it completely unbalance the combat system? If so, why? If I'm not mistaken, from RAW, it has been determined that PCs shouldn't even be allowed to take a given Encounter or Daily repeatedly. I understand I can do whatever I want in my games. I was just wondering if anyone else thought of this and if there are negative aspects that I am not perceiving. Thanks in advance for any insightful comments. [/QUOTE]
