Wow, I’m very curious to find out how balanced these really end up being. I like it for the Martial classes because it seems to fill the role that daily powers have taken on for classes like the Barbarian and Warden as effecting how the class acts for the rest of an encounter. That said, I don’t really think any Limit Breaks should be encounter powers, I think they should all be daily powers but that’s my opinion and feel of the whole thing.
So, we’ve already chatted about this on gmail ,, but I’ll reply anyway
These powers are taking into account the fact that you should already be outmatched. So yeah, you are breaking some fundamental rules, but you were already outmatched to begin with
.
After powers and feats, I’ll be detailing what a Limit Break fight should look like.
dude, I came late to this one. FAR OUT! These are awesome
I’ve been toying with allowing players to spend surges to recharge encounter and daily powers with some decent success, but this is even better
Keep up the excellent work!
