There was an episode about the ‘over sight’ of GI Joe. Every little while they would be told to not fire missiles or recharge weapons, or ‘waist’ fuel for the vehicles. The end result was the senator having a great quote “Losing is not cost effective” Now what does this have to do with D&D and 4e you ask, well I will tell you.     I am new to this edition. Infact I just had game one of my first campaign, and I am already be told we are ‘doing it wrong’. Ok, so maybe not that rude, but here is what happened. We  are in beginning of Keep of the shadowfall. We had a bad encounter with some kobolds, then the next day we got Ambushed on our way out of town by more of those shifty bastards.       Ok so in the encounter round 1 2 of us (the two new to 4e) both used our Daily’s. In round two our Invoker (and most experienced 4e player) summoned an angle of fire. Around round 5 or 6 our thief (Not only also new to 4e but new to D&D) used her cartwheel charge daily.  So now after the encounter we have 1 PC with a daily left (We are level 1).          So the DM  told the Invoker player we are way to egger to fire the big guns. He also said there are more encounters before we can rest (we are going to a dragon tomb were Orcus may or may not have an undead dragon holding my mentor…or has eaten said mentor)   (Check out my blog <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/blogs/hardcoredanddgirl/" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/blogs/hardcoredanddgirl/</a> )   So NOW I have to ask what do we do? We are mostly new players (3 never before played 4e) and only 2 experienced players. Is this a real problem? If I was a wizard in 3e I would think nothing of firing off one of my only spells, or maybe all of them if the fight was hard, but never have I been told “What about the rest of the encounters”      So are we ‘screwed’ and not in the good way? Is having less daily’s a bad thing. I know a lot of you have read this mod before, so with minimal spoilers, maybe should we head to the waterfall the kobolds instead? Is that an easier way to run?     this is a little upseting since Dave has been my fav 2e/3e DM ever, and I already had reservations about switching to 4e...    So suggestions?</blockquote>
