[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4937394, member: 5202"] This is solved in games like WoW like so. Warriors have an ability called Ovepower. It is only usable when someone has dodged one of their attacks. When that occurs, the button lights up and stays active for the next few seconds. If you have the required rage and hit teh button while it is active, you Overpower your enemy and deal that damage. If you ignore it, it goes away after a few seconds. 4E won't port over directly to computer games any better than 3E did tho. The time spans of power refreshes in a tabletop game vs a game like an MMO don't sync up. If you just auto-attacked and once every 5 minutes got to use 2 different abilities and once every day you were online you could use another ability, well...you would feel like a Paladin in WoW at launch :) B O R I N G !! The underlying mechanics of the system, the steady increase of all combat abilities, etc, THAT will translate perfectly. Powers will be tweaked extensively. [/QUOTE]
