[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4352656, member: 19675"] Fine. Try to learn a kata doing it once per day. Try developing the muscle memory required to do it by doing it once per day. Try learning the kata from a master who can only illustrate it once per day. Or as has been said: Exactly. 4Ed daily martial powers strain my credulity. I guess that's it for my credulity today. Probably pretty easily with a bit of creativity. Lets see what I can do on the fly... [B]Villain's Menace[/B] "You muster your martial strength and inner force of will, combining them with singular focus to unbalance your opponent, leaving him vulnerable to telling strikes..." To me, that sounds like something a bit more limited than a mere series of blows, and at least [I]implies[/I] the supernatural. Perhaps one power taps into the "souls of all your warrior ancestors before you.." while another reads like "an unseen force guides your hand as you whirl about, causing blinding injuries to the foes pressing in around you." Give me the same amount of time to tweek them as WotC did, and I could probably come up with a series of descriptions that not only sound different from each other, but hang together as a unified whole. Instead, there is no real difference between at wills, encounters and dailies that makes dailies stand out as needing limitation. Again, we're not talking about HR, we're discussing the merits & believability of martial dailies RAW. If I want to, I can make a HR that says that all martial dailies summon a rain of bunnies when used. [/QUOTE]
