Message: <blockquote data-quote="RHGreen" data-source="post: 5705875">One of the good things about being a wizard in older systems is that you could, technically if not practically, collect every spell there is. I wish it could be the same for all powers. Say that you manage to collect 6 Encounters and 5 Dailies, but you can only use 2 of each per day. But not in a vancian way where you have to choose at the beginning of the day. You simply have them there waiting to be used. Also, I want more than 2 at-wills (3 for human.) You could dish out powers as a reward, like magic items, for doing good stuff. 2 characters of the same level could have a different number of options based on how well they have played. There should be a minimum, however, as you don't want to be an ineffective character. That would be unfair. Some people don't like having too much book keeping for spells/powers. I don't see the problem. If you have some printed out cards just use a card and lie it face down to represent having used an encounter power. Perhaps if you can only use a given power once, leave it face down and only get it back after an extended rest, or another mechanic. If fact you can do this as a house rule with existing 4E. It doesn't make you more 'powerful', it just gives you more options. BTW I hate having to swap out powers as you go up in level (I forgot how to swing really hard) and using the same at-wills over and over again. Edit: You'd think WOTC would love your character being able to collect powers, especially in the form of cards, MTG and all that. Oh and the ability to scale up powers so that a 1st level power can be boosted up, say, to a level 6 version.</blockquote>
