Bruuutaalll Striiiiike!!" The player decides when it's the right time for his character to use that exploit. Oh and that's, IMO, the reason they are called 'exploits' and not 'maneuvers'.The same with the warlord. He is always trying to give his allies the best course of action, he is always coordinating the attacks, shouting and doing his tactical stuff. But the character, again from the immersive POV, doesn't know that he has a special shout that allows one of his allies to immediately charge an enemy. He is always shouting, always telling other the best way to act, but maybe they just don't obey, or don't hear him in the middle of the fight or they don't understand it. But sometimes they do. That's when the metagamish component takes place and the Power is activated.That's not intended to be a house rule or solution to everyone, that's how I'll probably "rationalize" most of the martial powers.I thinks it's much better than the "enemies don't fall for the same trick twice".</blockquote>
