Overnight campsites or rustic inns where there is little threat gets 2-4, but resting in hostile lands or dungeons returns only 1-2, if you're lucky. Actual, honest-to-goodness Extended rests are just that: extended. You're looking at needing several days, at minimum, in non-hostile surroundings.It has worked well so far. Most of my PCs like to run lean & risky, blowing their powers to end fights quickly and dealing with the consequences after, namely, that they run low on hit points, and can't count on their dailies being available. The choice of recharging has also added back some of the resource management from earlier edition spellcasters, which some of my players really enjoy.Here is a link to the thread I made last year about it: <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?334409-Nemesis-Destiny-s-Houserules-Thread" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?334409-Nemesis-Destiny-s-Houserules-Thread</a>Some of my rules may have changed since then. It's been a while.</blockquote>
