[QUOTE="WhatGravitas, post: 4055822, member: 33132"] Erm... why? Per encounter basically means it's something very exhausting you cannot pull off again without catching your breath. I mean, run around, lift something 200 lbs., drop it, keep running... and try lifting it again. You'll probably fail. But once you stop running, sit down some minutes... you can probably pull it off again. And that's the end of an encounter - a chance to catch your breath, relax a bit (also mentally), refocus... and being relieved that [i]nothing wants to eat your face anymore![/i] Then you'll probably less exhausted and do heavy work again. On the other hand, [i]per day[/i] is pretty strange. What makes one so dependant on the 24 hour cycle? It cannot be these 8 hours of sleep - per day abilities won't recover after a second nap. Only if a day passes and you nap. Sounds a bit more rules-driven. Cheers, LT. [/QUOTE]
