Some good stuff there, but I strongly disagree with some of the statements made in the third response.
"... so if we give one character two 1st-level at-will powers, and we give another eight 1st-level at-will powers, the latter character has a greater breadth of options in a given situation, but both characters have equivalent levels of output because each can only use one power at a time."
I understand the point he's trying to make, but I do not believe that comment to be true. Looking at it in a vacuum, yes, you can only use one power at a time. However, the guy with 8 powers is going to be able to cover a wider variety of situations. As such, there could potentially be 6 situations in which the guy with only 2 powers most certainly does have lower output.
A lot of the response to the first question sounded good, but -without more specifics- the answer doesn't really mean anything to me. It was kind of like listening to a political speech in which a leader claims a lot of things are going to be done, but doesn't offer any plan for how it will be done.
