[QUOTE="jmartkdr2, post: 9778490, member: 7017304"] Exalted 3e does something similar: you can attack to gain initiative, or you can spend initiative to do damage (after hitting with an attack) - so you want to build up to the big hit rather than start with your best attacks. Also, gather power for certain spells is an action. Of course, these spells aremore powerful to compensate. 13th Age gets a similar result through a different method: most daily powers are expended before the attack roll, so you lose the resource on a miss. You also get a +1 to hit after each round (to a max of +6, this is called the Escalation Die). This means you [I]can[/I] use your best attack on turn 1, but probably want to wait until the Escalation Die gets up to a decent number to lower the risk of "wasting" the resource. Anyways this is a really cool idea and I would love to see some houserules exploring it. [/QUOTE]
