[QUOTE="Vayden, post: 4501017, member: 57791"] Combat length has been addressed in many many threads here - short answer - have more strikers, have the DM look at encounter composition a little more closely. As far as your ideas for dailies - if you'd like to give Wizards and Clerics some of that older edition feel by letting them choose their powers, I say go for it. It's an edge, but it's not a huge edge, as long as you keep it to dailies (I wouldn't let them do that for utility powers, but that's just me). I wouldn't bother balancing out the other classes, as I don't think the choice is that huge of an advantage (especially for people who are used to the old edition's massive power gap between casters and non-casters). However, what I would stress, is that you don't want to try and "balance" it by making the other class's dailies all reliable. Almost all the non-reliable powers have some benefit on a miss, so if you make those powers reliable, you're giving someone a situation where they're getting some effect, but not losing the use of the power. Like I said, I would just leave it be, but if you do want to balance it out, I would suggest just letting them choose their dailies at the start of the day as well. [/QUOTE]
