[QUOTE="Kmart Kommando, post: 3093125, member: 39915"] One other thing I like about per-encounter abilities instead of per-day is that my character actually does get to do things on his turn, We had a someone-attacks-you-while-you're-camping encounter, with a bunch of giants and ogres and things, and my character stood up, drew his sword, and went back to bed, because the casters nuked the crap out of everything charging in and nothing even got near the party. :\ It's getting to the point where the casters nuke something, and either it's dead, or it kills someone and then they nuke it again, and it dies. And each encounter is going the same, because the casters are in charge of the encounter pace. I play a swordsage now (was a psychic warrior then), and I still end up sleeping at 8:15am cecause the casters are running on fumes after the 15 minute buff-rush nukathon. :p If I'm lucky, I'll get into the proper position, with the proper boost and fullround maneuver ready, and I can do my flaming chunky salsa dance, and do half the damage our casters are doing every round, for 3-4 encounters, then resting by the time the first round of buff spells wears off. :( [/QUOTE]
