[QUOTE="sabrinathecat, post: 8703901, member: 89838"] You don't get new powers at every level, but you do get something cool. Also, to get some powers, you have to give up other, lower level powers. (Usually you dump the lvl3 power to get the lvl 13, for example) In many cases, the higher level New Power Options do include versions of lower level, but beefed up. Difficult to say if it would have been better to say "Beefed Up Stunning Strike" instead of whatever. On the other hand, there are a few low level powers that are just too good to give up (Moment of Glory comes to mind). Just using PH1, counting race, class, and build, there were some 300 possible combinations (I don't remember the exact number--haven't bothered with the calculations in 10 years). Sure, some aren't optimal, but that's still a lot of potential lvl1 characters, and it doesn't factor in which Encounter or Daily power picked, nor which feat (or feats if playing a human). There's a smegging ton of potential characters. (And to think that one of the big complaints the detractors made when 4E came out was that there weren't enough options!) Still playing 4e. Still running 4e. Don't plan on ever changing. [/QUOTE]
