[QUOTE="Edgar Ironpelt, post: 9210376, member: 32075"] Some abilities would be better (IMHO) if they weren't resources to be managed. In particular, I find that the need to resource-manage Rage uses per day cuts against immersion with a Barbarian character. So do my players - especially those who would enjoy playing a Barbarian, or who would find that class a good fit. Unlimited turning/rebuking of undead, the way it was back before 3.x is another one. Full hit points for every fight/encounter. IME players will want this as a "Duh. Of course" thing, and will move heaven and earth to evade DM attempts to take it away. So I'm just as happy, as a DM, to go with the flow. Abundant wands of cure light wounds? Sure. Or even house rules to allow out-of-combat healing from a mundane Healing skill, even if this is blasphemy against the "All Healing Comes From Divine Magic" commandment of standard D&D. And one other point where resource management gets greatly relaxed if not entirely eliminated is Encumbrance. Back in the old days (1e with pre-1e games still in play) I saw DMs hand out cheap bags of holding to 1st level characters, simply because encumbrance was so unfun that it became unfun for the DMs as well as the players.
