[QUOTE="mearls, post: 1934151, member: 697"] In a way, that might end up with the same result as x/day, where you can rely on using the ability 2 or 3 times, but beyond that the DC gets too high. At that point, you're back in the high DC situation. From a math standpoint, you might as well go back to x/day and drop the die rolls and bookkeeping. However, this brings up an interesting point. The "feel" of the rules is something that gets overlooked in a design. As Aaron2 pointed out, a lot of people forget to use their x/day abilities. I've seen this happen a lot myself, and some players like the idea of gambling on the ideas. It's definitely something to consider in rules design. I'm still not sold on it as a good thing for core, defining class abiliites. It adds a random element to the game, one that makes a core, iconic party used to judge CRs and stuff by a little less reliable. But that all said, I think the basic idea has merit. Oh yeah, and this is all IMO of course. [/QUOTE]
