You could extend that to say "no more than once per encounter". So in effect we are creating a super short breather. A character can use their ability in nigh every fight, but can only affect one fight with that ability....afterwards they at least need a minute or two to catch their breath and recover.You can do that by a formal 5 minute rest, but you could still do it with the 1 hour short rest..... that rest is used for hitpoint recovery whereas characters still get most of their abilities back "after each encounter".</blockquote>
