[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 4335908, member: 743"] Geoff beat me to it, and many others got to the "me too" button before me. The one thing I'll add is that if you want to keep the math right, you'll need to make dailies and surge replenishment tied to X encounters rather than picking an arbitrary number of days. My understanding is that 4e expects 3 - 4 fights per day, so if you're having one a day and bump dailies to once per 4 days, then when you have a story-based reason to go through 2 fights a day instead of one, you'll be looking at possible TPKs on days 3 and 4, because the challenge increased drastically but the dailies didn't refresh as intended. Or the GM can just continue to increase the challenge of the encounters. Eventually he'll probably settle on a reasonable percentage of the encounter's XP value to tack on to every fight to make up for it. Or he'll use the guidelines in the DMG, which talk about levels of challenge that require the use of dailies to succeed. [/QUOTE]
