[QUOTE="Archmage, post: 4295781, member: 6760"] Because possibly a given power depends on the target providing some form of momentum and using it against him. Maybe at the time in the fight when the enemy is helpless, the fighter just doesn't have the "oomph" of adrenaline needed to get it done. Because the target is not positioned right in relation to other combatants. On the rare occasions I spend time thinking about it, it's a combination of such things - the circumstances aren't right to pull off such an impressive effect as a daily power. The question is, why is this such a sticking point? If you want to come up with an explanation for it you can, if you don't want to come up with an explanation you won't. That's all it really boils down to. You apparently don't want to come up with an explanation that makes sense, but you want there to be an explanation that makes sense to you. If none of the examples that I and others have provided do it for you, and if it's that important, then clearly you either need to houserule so that that you can make fighter dailies make sense for you, or lower your standards for "realism" a tiny amount, or play a different game. I suppose this is dangerously near hong's flippant "stop thinking so hard about fantasy" posts, but I think that's actually a valid point in the case of debating the existence of fighter daily powers.
