[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4458323, member: 386"] Assuming your objection isn't the "per encounter/per day" system: Let's start off with the first one: disarm. The only mention of a disarm in the PHB is the Fighter's level 17 attack power, Exorcism of Steel. Nowhere in the description of the power say anything about a restriction on other disarm attempts; the only limitation is that you can only use Exorcism of Steel once per encounter. I'm not sure how that means YOU CAN'T. Trip: there are a lot of "the target falls prone" powers. There's nothing in any of them that say you can't otherwise trip someone. Tumble: This one is your best case, because normally you can Shift as a move action only, and then only one square. Tumble expands it to 3 squares, which is why it's a power. Likewise, normally you can't attack more than once with a Standard action, but some powers allow you to attack twice. So yeah, I guess the Standard/Move/Minor actions by round is a restriction. Use healing to regain hp when out of surges: It's a resource based game. What can I tell you? Use two magic rings: I don't really know how rings work. If your objection is with the "per encounter/per day" system - how do you feel like those offer restrictions? I can try to Tumble more than once per encounter - either as a Shift, or I can suck up OAs and hope they miss. I can try to attack twice with a Basic Attack - but I need to take two rounds to do it in. edit: This is the RAW: Round 1: I use Exorcism of Steel. I fail to hit. Round 2: I attempt to disarm him again, using a Standard action this time, not a power. The DM comes up with some way to resolve it. [/QUOTE]
