That was a 1/day non-magical power after all.Or the rogue "defensive roll" special ability? That was a 1/day non-magical power.This is a serious question BTW, I'm not poking fun at you.Originally I felt that "daily" martial powers were rocking my sense of reasonableness, but the suggestion that someone made which helped me with rationalising it is that the daily power doesn't reflect something that the PC has trained to do; rather it represents the Players ability to gain enough narrative control over the situation to say "*now* is the perfect time to land a brute strike". If the PC could, he would spam off his best attacks all the time. As it is, he can only use them when the circumstances come together perfectly for it - and the player gets to choose when those circumstances exist. When that 'once per day' chance actually comes up.This might not work for you, but I find it a more compelling argument than I ever hand for the barbarian and rogue abilities mentioned above - and even those I just learned to accept in the end.Cheers</blockquote>
