When you get a Twice-per-Encounter Power once per day...

[Thanee]

...like when you learn the Cleric or Warlord multiclassing feat.

Can you also use it twice, but only during one encounter (i.e. it's still an Twice-per-Encounter Power, but you have to choose one encounter per day to use it in), or can you only use it once total per day (i.e. it becomes a Daily Power for you)?

Bye

I'm no help... but I've been wondering this too.

And when you hit 16 and it becomes 3/encounter?

I would read it as: once per day, you can use Inspiring Word (warlord) or Healing Word (cleric) twice per encounter.

So, choose that encounter well, and make sure you get both uses in.

That's not how I read it. I read it as: Instead of the way you usually use healing word (2 x encounter) you can use it once per day.

If they wanted it to be used 2x during one encounter per day, I think there are easier ways that they could have said that.

It says once per day, its once per day.

The special is referring to the fact that its defined as an encounter, but can be used twice per encounter.

The multi class feat doesn't change the power, its still an encounter power (which matters for many paragon paths and higher level powers). But now it can only be used once per day.

You can also take precedent from the exception based model.

Normally you can use healing word twice per encounter. The feat provides an exception, with this feat you can only use it once per day.

Seems pretty clear to me...

Healing Word
Encounter (Special) * Divine, Healing
Special: You can use this power twice per encounter, but only once per round. At 16th level, you can use this power three times per encounter.


changes to


Healing Word
Daily (Special) * Divine, Healing
Special: You can use this power twice per encounter, but only once per round. At 16th level, you can use this power three times per encounter.


The feats change the one keyword and nothing else.

Keep in mind it says the Healing Word power once per day. You get the whole power and all the wacky things it may or may not have, special effects included, once per day.

 

[Yaezakura]

You can use the power once per day, and only once per day. Remember, a specific rule always beats a general rule.

The general rule is, Warlords and Clerics can use their healing powers twice per encounter. But the specific rule of a multiclassed Warlord or Cleric only being able to use them once per day soundly trounces the general rule.

Ok - I've got one. What if you are a warlord with initiate of the faith ? Do you have two separate versions (an encounter and a daily) of Healing Word to keep track of ?

Warlords don't get Healing Word. They get Inspiring Word.

Healing Word
Daily (Special) * Divine, Healing
Special: You can use this power twice per encounter, but only once per round. At 16th level, you can use this power three times per encounter.

So, 1/day in a single encounter you can use Healing World twice, but not in the same round.

Works for me
