As others have noted, this effectively makes the encounter and daily attacks reliable, and every opportunity attack and free basic attack taken by the PC has the potential to be turned into an encounter or a daily attack. One possibility to balance it is to use the bladesinger bladespell restriction (from the Neverwinter campaign setting) that you can only get the benefits when you hit with a weapon basic attack on your turn. This would take care of the second concern of the PC getting the benefits on his off-turn attacks.The first concern (effectively reliable encounters and dailies) is somewhat harder to address, and I think that in order to do so, you will need to develop new encounter and daily powers that trigger off a successful weapon basic attack instead of doing a simple conversion. Alternatively, the powers may allow the character to trade off damage for an extra effect, e.g. you may reduce the damage you deal by 5 points to knock the target prone.</blockquote>
