[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 4812707, member: 58197"] Doesn't really address the OP's issue, though, which is (if I understand it correctly) that there is no way for the player to be in the PC's mindset when making this decision. The tactical question involved in using a daily power is, almost always, "Do I want to burn a daily power in this fight? Is this a good time for it, or should I save it for later?" If the opportunity to use a daily power comes from chance and specific circumstances, then the decision is a no-brainer from the character's perspective - hey, look, it's a chance to use my super-deadly uber-trick! I better seize the opportunity while it's here, I'd be an idiot not to. The decision is purely a metagame one. I have not yet thought of a way around this problem. Closest I can come is to explain it as some kind of stamina thing; you only have so much oomph in you per day, then you have to rest. But this doesn't explain why you can't swap out your daily powers, i.e., use power X twice instead of power X once and power Y once. [/QUOTE]
