[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 4578081, member: 5889"] I think the changes you made are in the right direction! Its definately a flexible and powerful alternative to core 4e. My new thoughts: 1) I worry about the competition between dailies and encounters. One of the reason for encounter powers is that they are always there. With this version, I can nova my dailies and then I am completely drained of powers. Or a person might never want to lower their mana pool, and so they never use daily powers. Zelc may be on the right track with seperate pools. Or you might consider greatly increasing the mana cost of daily powers...but drop the permanent loss of mana for the day. In this case, dailies become "super" encounter powers. 2) I still think you make utility powers too cheap compared to other powers, but that's my opinion. 3) Not using the same power twice may be a simple solution to the problem I mentioned before. At high levels a player may alternate between higher and lower level powers to keep using good powers, though they may simply mix between daily and encounters and always use their strongest abilities.
