Why? because its cool... its exciting and its a game based on fictional action stories.Voltron could use his Blazing Sword at any time to kill the robeast but he waits till the show is almost over to chop it in two. you can say its exhausting or you wasted your Ki, but to me these are all just fictional fluff to describe something that is happening in the game. Trying to provide some sort of psuedo world reason is just going to cause more questions by the players. Change it from Daily Power to your Daily Action Moment. And encounter powers to signature move... the at wills are your basic filler between big moments.I also allow the players to use their abilities outside of combat using skill challenges... it works fairly well.I even ran a low magic swashbuckling game and we changed all the fluff of the powers of the marital characters to be more in line with something in the real world. Like pirate cat mentioned... pulling the rug out from under them... using a torch or kicking the campfire for a move that causes fire damage... etc.It was loads of fun</blockquote>
