Not everyone seems to mind that, but my players and I do. If I'm playing a Street Fighter RPG and I have enough ki to fire a fireball, I want to be able to. I don't want to have to use a different move just because I fireballed last round.Of course, if my enemy does something that makes fireball not a valid maneuver, well, then I'll gladly use one of my other powers. 'Spamming' is only a problem if one power is overpowered, or if it is always the most useful. No one complains about warlocks spamming eldritch blast, because it's not that strong.Really, I think I'd like wizards in 4e to be like warlocks in 3e -- possessing a set of abilities usable at will -- with an added element of being able to cast a handful of 'powerful' spells a limited number of times a day. Similarly, I'd like fighters to be able to use all of their powers whenever that power is appropriate. Now, some might be fairly niche -- "if you're armed with a spear, your enemy is on higher ground than you, and he attacked and missed next round, you can skewer him from below, using gravity against him and automatically critting" or something like that -- but if my opponent keeps putting himself in harm's way, I want to be able to use the same trick again and again.</blockquote>
