Message: <blockquote data-quote="Toras" data-source="post: 4265882" data-attributes="member: 13626">I will agree that having a limit to magic is something that is largely a specific concept, but I've always though it as magic having specific flow and pattern.  To construct a spell requires energy, and your god will grant you all the power he/she feels that you are worthy of/or can handle.  If you use that to prepare Flamestrikes that is left to your wisdom. Admitted I would have preferred spell points, but I think that is straying from topic.  I understand that is what they are supposed to replicate, but this seems like I can only use the super move when it is dramatically appropriate. It requires genre awareness in a sense, and if they are simply circumstances why wouldn't I try to replicate those circumnstances were ever possible.  Aka, if I have an unstoppable supermove, why do I not use it early and often?  If it was simply a trick that would only work on 1 opponent or one group of opponents because once you saw it it wouldn't work on you anymore, I could see that but that's not how it works and it certainly doesn't explain dailies.I as a player can understand the balance issues, but while the others have at least some semi-reasonable argument for running out of ...energy of a type, martial seems like the one that stretches things beyond the wierd into the absurd.  And I play roleplaying games to be immersive, why is my fighter the only one who breaks the fourth wall for his powers?  Why didn't they just have a number of conditional powers for martial?  If  you are attacked, you can Dodge, Parry, or Block...That sort of thing I know they wanted to go universal  on the mechanics, but sometimes you just can't.</blockquote>
