Do other players do this?My six PCs finish every day (mostly) with half of their Daily Powers unspent, even when I throw the kitchen sink at them. They just seem to not want to spend them at all... the what if factor scares them into hoarding them.Example At present the PCs have completed 6 encounters so far today, probably good for another 3 before they'll need to take an extended rest. They've used 50% of their total Healing Surges, although one or two of them have only a couple left- hence max three more fights left.I worked out last night that they had used only 16% of their total available (combat orientated) daily powers.Six players, four of whom have not used a daily at all yet.And they've been in some tough fights, real nasty, they were moaning about a huge fracas with a bunch of nasty foulspawn followed by a toe-to-toe with a ogre warhulk and medusa- one of them managing only to save vs petrify with a re-roll power, at one point all but one of the PCs on the track to Petrified.Fights that would have taken much less time to play out, and would have been much easier to conclude- leaving more time to explore, or RP... but no, they continue to hoard them.I pointed this out to them after the session, had one reply so far from the Wiz stating yes- more or less every day (between extended rests) he finishes with 50% of his Daily Powers unused. He just thinks that something bad (worse) is going to come along... and so waits a while longer.So, any views on this- I really can't make the fights any harder, I'm throwing level 15+ encounters at a level 10-11 party (that's not a problem by the way- they're loving it).Others experiencing this?Players POV?Cheers PDR</blockquote>
