[QUOTE="Jackelope King, post: 3772009, member: 31454"] While okay in theory, in practice this leads to problems. Spellcasters are at their best at the beginning of the day, [url=http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0020.html]as we all know[/url], and outshine non-casters in this way after about level 5. But as you add more encounters, the non-casters start to outshine the casters. I don't mind at all there being different approaches to "powers" in the game with different mechanics (I [i]adore[/i] psionics and binders, and I also really like Incarnum even if the flavor makes me gag sometimes ;)). This disparity is in direct oposition to the goal of "everyone can have fun during every encounter". What I would rather see would be these sorts of system and all the mechanical differences they have balanced on a per-encounter system. Hey, they did it on a per-day system. I think they can handle this too. [/QUOTE]
