[QUOTE="Psion, post: 3352327, member: 172"] Of the OP's supposed paradigms, I'll go with 1) Good 2) Dumb Myself. Class benefits at every level is something some other d20 system games have been doing for a while, and I quietly sigh when I step back into D&D. However, I feel that the endurance for power tradeoffs is a classic balance method that gives players access to some extra flash without unecessarily nerfing the powers of the class. I have not problem with classes that do use it, but it shouldn't be the only method. Further, "encounter" is an artificial measurement medium. A good example of where this falls down is in dungeonscape, where a class gets "per encounter" abilities that are useful outside of encounters. What, if you run out of uses, do you go get into a fight so you can use it again? I haven't seen that sort of ultra-metagamey mechanic since DL SAGA, and I don't care to see it again. [/QUOTE]
