[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6276336, member: 37579"] You can’t. This kind of design would have been great for 4th Edition, where a certain number of rounds were built into the game and tactical combat was the norm. It would have been easy and interesting to have a certain number of “rage points” needed for a fighter to use his Daily powers. It’s harder in D&D5, as that edition is balanced around the adventuring day and not the encounter. There’s few assumptions made regarding individual encounters. And we don’t know how many short rests they’re expecting to have during an adventuring day, if there’s any assumptions. However, a resource could be based around the adventuring day, where the character slowly gains “fury” or “adrenaline” until the expend a power or take a short rest. So they get more powerful as they adventure without a break. You could certainly build a fighter subclass around that idea. * * * Non-magical resources can work, but they should generally make sense in the narrative.
