[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5532118, member: 12460"] I've been thinking with the 4e system designed the way it is, monsters often get to recharge their best powers, which prevents them from using them every round, but still lets them use them multiple times per encounter. For really deadly encounters, everyone breaks out the daily powers. But sometimes luck just isn't on your side and several daily powers go whiff in quick succession and suddenly a very difficult encounter becomes almost overpowering. This is less of an issue at higher levels where you have more daily powers, but there are still very few daily attack powers available to most characters at any given time. So would it break the game to add the reliable keyword to all daily powers? That way, at least if you miss, you have a chance to use it again next turn, or with an action point. [/QUOTE]
