[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 4294774, member: 996"] Not at all. Fights aren't balanced vs PCs bereft of thier dailies - nor presumbably, vs ones that have all thier dailies, and all thier dailies being perfect for that particular fight - thier balanced against the general case of a party that probably has some dailies that may or may not be well-suited to the fight at hand. When the party happens to have the right daily still available, a regular fight will be easier, or a hard one more winnable. If the party has blown all thier dailies (or is conserving them all), even an easy encounter may be tough. Resource management is a critical aspect of 4e. Lead the Attack is well suited to a Solo encounter. So is Pin the Foe. So, I'm sure, are other dailies. OTOH, different dailies may be well suited to dealing with other sorts of encounters. A wizard's fireball is of minor help against a solo, but highly effective against a line of soldiers, and overwhelming to a crowd of minions.

If you try to slog through a hard solo encounter's massive hps by just plinking your at wills against his high defenses, you'll have a very long fight on your hands - if not a TPK. [/QUOTE]
