[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4603292, member: 386"] Right, that's my point. Having basic attack + push 1 creates more tactical choice - more possibilities - than just a basic attack. edit: If you took away those at-wills, you would not get the same amount of possibility you do now. They might feel more "special" when you used them, but if the trade off is less tactical complexity I'll take the at-wills. The different attack options offered by feats are covered by Powers. The basic attack options all characters have are covered by page 42. You don't need a feat or a power to knock someone prone in 4e, nor do you need to be a 17th-level Fighter to disarm someone. [indent]During your turn, you can choose from a wide variety of actions. Usually, the most important decision you make in combat is what to do with your standard action each turn. Do you use one of your powers? If so, which one? Or does the situation demand a different approach, such as using your standard action to drink a healing potion, try to call a parley and talk to your foes, or instead get a second move action this turn? This seciont describes how to perform he most common actions that are available to you on your turn.
