Dailies:- These can be invoked, pending fictional positioning legitimacy, for an automatic success in the Skill Challenge and a + 2, fictional positioning requirement specified by the player, but at the cost of 1 Healing Surge.Encounter Powers:- Combat Encounter Powers can be used to gain a + 2 to your Attack vs AC/NAD, pending fictional positioning legitimacy.  You can also gain an additional + 1 (for a total of + 3) at the cost of 1 Healing Surge.You guys have accrued assets to deploy in this and you have PC build resources to deploy as free/interrupt actions.  Before I resolve any specific panel/stage, I'm going to ask people to check in to confirm whether they are deploying any of these or leaving the scene as is.  I'm going to do this via PM so as to not clutter the thread.  Unfortunately, since we aren't sitting around a table together in real time, this is our only recourse.  Is everyone ok with this and/or do you have any questions about anything?</blockquote>
