[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4351186, member: 19675"] If the fluff & mechanics matched up to something that looked so outré that I could believe it borders on the mystical, then perhaps I could accept non-reliable 1/day martial maneuvers. But they don't. They simply don't read as powers that are so beyond the pale that they need to be limited to 1/day, regardless of PC level, regardless of opponent skill. Look at them, read them. Imagine Bas Ruten or anyone else mentioned in this thread as a 4Ed PC trying some of these maneuvers against utter mooks. Against the barely trained. Against the halfway competent. Against the trained but still relatively inexperienced. Against an equal. There is no reason why Bruce Lee couldn't wander from room to room using the same maneuver against any given mook he encountered in Han's island. Its not until he fights someone like Bolo or Han himself that his options become limited. And its not because he's tapped out, its because he's fighting a trained warrior. He might be able to land a "daily" technique once on Han and/or Bolo even though he used it on a dozen different, but much less skilled, opponents that day. So, not "daily" but "per encounter" or "at will" depending upon the foe faced. [/QUOTE]
