[QUOTE="Tequila Sunrise, post: 6959686, member: 40398"] Honestly, it sounds like you just bought the wrong edition of D&D. Which sucks for your wallet, but it does give you a simple solution: Play 4e instead. 4e is very well balanced, you can run an entire campaign of once-per-day encounters without breaking it*, and it's perfect for big dramatic encounters with dastardly villains and big damn heroes. I wrote a blog post about [URL="https://4thmaster.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/why-4e-fans-love-4e/"]Why 4e Fans Love 4e[/URL], and also a [URL="https://4thmaster.wordpress.com/2016/09/12/how-to-dm-4e-dd/"]DMing 4e D&D[/URL] post which highlights 4e's few pitfalls. *With only one encounter per day, PCs will of course have more daily powers to use at once, but so long as you steer clear of the later 'essentials' classes where they tried to go all retro, there will never be one PC who can end encounters all by himself by blowing all of his spells while other PCs are twiddling their thumbs.
