[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 4542499, member: 114"] I've just thought of another one: [B]Option 5:[/B] Introduce recharges for encounter and utility powers. Daily powers recharge on a 6, Encounter powers recharge on a 4,5,6, say. Do the same for monsters which have daily and encounter only powers. Why? Because it is boring when you miss on half of your cool powers and you have to settle down to slogging your way through a fight with the at-wills. BTW, one of Stalker0's original points which I disagree with is actually a disagreement with the 4e designers assertion that there was a problem with a "15 minute adventuring day". I've never seen it. Ever.
