The first time in each encounter that you miss with all your attack rolls for a non-reliable encounter or daily power, you gain the ability to recharge your encounter powers by rolling a d6 at the start of your subsequent turns. 2. Your recharge range is initially <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />. Each time that you miss with alll your attack rolls for a non-reliable encounter or daily power, you increase your recharge range by one, e.g. from <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" /> to <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/5.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":5:" title="Five    :5:" data-shortname=":5:" /> <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />. 3. When you roll a number in your recharge range on your recharge die, you may regain an expended encounter power*, and you reduce your recharge range by one, e.g. from <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/5.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":5:" title="Five    :5:" data-shortname=":5:" /> <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" /> to <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />. If your recharge range was already <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />, you lose the ability to recharge powers until you miss with all your attack rolls for a non-reliable encounter or daily power again, in which case your recharge range becomes <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />. * Optional rule: If you don't mind the additional tracking, you must regain a missed encounter power before you regain any other expended encounter powers. Effectively, this means that you will only be able to regain an encounter power that hit if you miss with a daily power, and even so, you must regain all the encounter powers that you missed with first.</blockquote>
