However, even here, I think its often a case of the designer just not thinking it through.As regards Martial powers specifically, I think theres certainly a case for powers that would only work once per encounter either in terms of the idea that you can only fool the enemy once with them, or that the action is so taxing it can only be undertaken once per encounter.The greater flaw with Martial Powers is of course with Daily Powers. It does tend to stretch the verisimilitude somewhat. Though they do still make sense for the Warlord class.I think if we were to redesign Martial powers I'd perhaps make Daily Powers work only in conjunction with Magic Weapons. But of course then you would have to redesign the Martial Daily powers. On the other hand I think if you polled most 4E (Martial character) players and said do you want Daily powers or not, most would answer that they do indeed want them. I think the idea of 'Marking' is a solid one, the basic premise is that you ignore the Warrior at your peril.Personally I am not sure why multiple 'markings' are not allowed. I presume its a balance thing?I can see how it would vary from player to player.Personally I am a predominantly Tactical Gamer (and Power Gamer*), so I totally love the new tactical aspects of 4E. * <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I think if it bothered you too much, 4E is so flexible, that you could simply refit Daily's to Encounter Powers ie. lowering damage appropriately and so forth). Then perhaps give the character an additional Encounter Power for every Daily Power lost.Nice to see you trying 4E though mate. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
