A lot. For everyone. Almost all the classes have abilites with single uses per day or sometimes two or three uses. So do the races.Clearly Monte is (or was at the time) very fond of making usage limiting a primary resource mechanic.The problem (for me) is that I HATE this. In play it always feels like the GM is trying to bait you into using your ability before the big fight and hence such abilities either go entirely unused or are never there when you need them 'cause you wasted it in the last room on what turned out to be a kobold illusionist pretending to be a Balor. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/cry.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":.-(" title="Cry    :.-(" data-shortname=":.-(" />Vancian spell casting is one thing, but I really dislike the overuse of the once a day mechanic as a general practice. I hope we don't see too much of it in 5e.What is the general opinion?</blockquote>
