Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pbartender" data-source="post: 4165821" data-attributes="member: 7533">Look...  PCs already get at-will powers.  If the players want, they already can use that single ability every single round, all day long.  That's already in place, and it's worse than what I'm suggesting.In other words, if you aren't worried about players spamming At-Will powers, why are you so worried about the "incentivizication" of a rechargeable ability?They couldn't possibly, unless the players are exceptionally foolish, for the simple reason that you can't guarantee that a rechargeable ability will be available in any given round.  If I make that coin flip, and my "Recharge 6" ability recharges once by the end of the 5 round combat, then I've only used it twice -- that's two standard actions out of five standard, five move and five minor actions, not including free actions and bonus actions granted by allies and the like.  I only get to use it the second time, if I happen to be in the proper position and timing to use it, but...  What's the point of timing and positioning for an ability that I only have a 17% chance of using on any given round?  Any player worth his salt will wait until after the ability recharges, and then assess the situation to determine whether or not it is advantageous to use the rechargeable ability a second time, or whether some other at-will, encounter or daily power would be more tactically useful.Besides that...  Who's saying that a rechargeable ability is, by default, always going to be the "optimal" ability to use?</blockquote>
