[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5136879, member: 710"] That's a good question. I never actually had to do this in game, but D&D has similar issues with encounter powers - if there is a skill-boosting encounter power around and the players are part of a skill challenge, and use it there, but this skill challenge is extended and also includes combat encounters, when does this power reset? By "RAW", it's simple 5 minutes of rest always get you your power back. But I find this kinda unsatisfying, since it could theoretically mean you could use such a power for every check in an skill challenge. So my preference is to say: If you get into another encounter/dungeon, you can use your limited resource there again. But that doesn't recover it for the other encounter/dungeon you were or are in. Unfortunately, this could increase the amount of book-keeping (did I use my Diplomacy reroll in this Dungeon already?), and if the players never "finish" a dungeon, it might also seem useless. Also, it does work fine for abstract resources like encounter powers or daily powers, but it's a little harder to swallow for physical resources like healing potions and money. [/QUOTE]
