[QUOTE="Phaezen, post: 5776658, member: 42839"] Problem with wanting verisimilitude in rules is that the the concept of verisimilitude in itself is abstract and what is acceptable is different for everybody. Take for example limiting a barbarians rage uses on a daily basis. You may find this lacks "verisimilitude" but what if it was put like this: A barbarians rage goes beyond a mere emotional state and involved the barbarian working up into a berserk state, channeling pure fury into his actions. This takes an immense toll on him and therefore he can only do this once of twice a day for a limited period. After this his emotional and physical reserves are drained and he is unable to work up to the necessary emotional state until he has had a night's rest. Legends tell of barbarian heroes who can work themselves into a berserk state five or more times a day, but these powerful individuals are extremely rare. [/QUOTE]
