Today's announcement rather made me more sceptical. I've been hoping for completely compatible class writeups, but now I'm not sure we'll get that.To be more precise, I was hoping that Essentials powers and feats could be taken by PHB characters without issues and vice versa. It's a bit hard to say with what we know so far.As for the "no dailies", this can be done pretty easily:a) similar to utilities: powers of the same level (5/9) can be either daily or encounterb) a class ability allows you to pick a level 3 encounter power instead of a level 5 daily (and so on for higher levels) (something I considered as a general houserule)Either way doesn't really change anything about the system, it just allows you to build a PC with a more steady performance over several encounters, at the cost of nova ability.I'm fairly certain we won't see anything like power points, as some posters mentioned. That would be against the KISS principle of the Essentials. The Psionic ruled were just mentioned as a general example of classes that break the standard encounter / daily setup.We'll see.</blockquote>
