[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8263826, member: 12731"] You have 6 surges always. The number does not change as you level up. But you always heal back up fully with those six surges. If you have 60 hp a surge is 10 hp. When you level up a few times and gain another 30 hp, a surge is 15 hp. The number 6 could have been 5 or 8. Why did I choose 6? Reasons include: [LIST] [*]I wanted you to heal back up in about thirty minutes time. You can have up to three focus points, each rest activity (refocus, repairing your shield, whatever...) is ten minutes. So thirty minutes seems to be the sweet spot. Rest much longer than that, and the "choose your rest activity" minigame goes away; you can simply take all the rest activities you want. Rest for only 10 minutes, and some classes suffer for it. So I wanted a number that was evenly divisible by 30. Three surges is too coarse, too chunky.
