[QUOTE="keterys, post: 5986733, member: 43019"] Oh, good point. I'd also much prefer a mechanism that recharged not based on a solar cycle, but on a more adventure/plot/session cycle. So maybe you get back some healing, some other abilities for resting, but you need to level or finish an adventure or whatever in order to recharge your more rare/extended powers.
