Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rechan" data-source="post: 4790939" data-attributes="member: 54846">Since it's my houserule that started all this (thanks, Ppaladin, for steering me this way), I figure I should weigh in too. <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=":)" /> My intention of the houserule is to make the use of daily powers not an All or Nothing, because when you miss, it really sucks. I wanted to take the sting out of that, and also to encourage players to not hoard their dailies. If there's a chance "If it doesn't work, I still have it in my back pocket for later today", they're more willing to part with it. I still allow "On a miss" effects to happen, because usually they're so weak they don't really impact things all that much. Obvious, open broken-ness of what Mengu suggests is stuff that I would strike down with the angry fist of the DM, because I consider that playstyle to be not one bit cute. The houserule is for reducing player frustration; when my good will is abused, SEE MY WRATH.As far as a Reliable keyword power becoming available in the next encounter, I wouldn't let a Reliable-keyword power work that way. The Reliable power is going to hit in that encounter, so it will get used successfully.The multiple-attack point, however, is a good point that I hadn't considered.I do like Keterys suggestion, although that might cause some On-the-spot paralysis of "Do I want to take it back or not?" The other drawback is that it makes powers with a Miss effect less desirable; if the "miss" effect never takes effect, than those powers become weaker (since they were balanced with their miss effects).</blockquote>
