Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 6341213" data-attributes="member: 18">That's actually a shockingly insightful point, at least to me.In many cases, if a PC could try an Encounter power again at -4 to hit, they really would be just better off with an At-Will (Dailies might merit a -8 or -6). It would get tricky with ones which don't really require a roll and rely mostly on some kind of static effect, but those are very far and few between.Starfox is definitely wrong to assert that Encounters > At-Wills, too, I can think of dozens of counter-examples from my running of 4E. They often are, but not "strictly" - that's just wrong (I'm also skeptical of his claim re: multiple CaGIs, I think that's either a bug in the character builder, or his definition of CaGI goes well beyond the actual power - beside the point either way, though).Next time I run 4E, I might just let people re-do single-target, non-minor-action Encounter powers (not all of them) at -4 - even ones that succeeded - and see if they even want to. I feel like it's such a trap option in most cases though that it might be unfair. HMMMMMM.</blockquote>
