[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8788174, member: 6779196"] There’s no folks. Please engage with me when you’re engaging with me, not with everyone you imagine holds a similar position to me. Features which recharge on rolling initiative can’t easily be used outside of combat. The Epic Boon you quoted is not an example of such a feature, since it also recovers on a short or long rest. It says they can be used once per encounter, which is true. They are not, however, defined in relation to encounters, as you claimed, because neither their usage nor their recovery are tied to encounters. That’s why I dig in: because your critique is inaccurate. If you think it’s tiring that I “dig in on these things,” try to imagine how it must feel when critiques of a thing you enjoy are consistently factually inaccurate. But it literally is the opposite. 4e encounter powers are factually tied to an in-fiction thing, and 1D&D features that recover only on rolling initiative are factually tied to combat encounters. That is exactly the opposite of the reasoning you are using to praise the latter in contrast to the former. You’re allowed to like these features better than 4e encounter powers but your stated reasoning for doing so is counterfactual. You might want to reconsider why you actually like these better, but moreover, please stop perpetuating misinformation about 4e. [/QUOTE]
