Message: <blockquote data-quote="OB1" data-source="post: 7185803" data-attributes="member: 6796241">CapnZapp had a great suggestion to simplify, so I am editing this OP to highlight his suggestion at the top of the thread.  The original version is kept below this quote for reference.In the great tradition of warlords and rangers and OP Feats multiplying threads, I present yet another solution for those who wish to have a mechanical (rather than story) answer to recovering powers so as to force resource attrition and management.  Want to credit @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=12731" target="_blank">CapnZapp</a> for several of the ideas here.There are several options within this variant, depending on how much your table is willing to constrain the PCs.Alternate Rest Rules using Encounter PointsOption 1 - When a rest is interrupted for combat, it must be restarted.Option 2 - Encounter Point Variant - 8 Hour short rests and 7 day long rests do not cost EPsOption 3 - Encounter Point Variant Gaining Encounter PointsYour DM will award you Encounter Points after each encounter based on the following per DMG guidelines.  Players should track these in a Short Rest Pool and a Long Rest Pool.  When points are awarded, they should be added to both pools.  Both pools rest to 0 after a long rest is completed.Medium Encounter - 1 EPHard Encounter - 2 EPDeadly Encounter - 3 EPSpending Encounter Points You spend encounter points when you wish to wish to gain the benefits of a rest. These rests must still be uninterrupted by combat.  Deduct the points only when you finish the rest. Note that exhaustion levels are still reduced after an 8 hour long rest. Short Rest Cost8 Hour Short Rest - 1 EP1 Hour Short Rest - 3 EP5 Minute Short Rest - 6 EPLong Rest Cost 1 Week Long Rest - 3 EP 8 Hour Long Rest - 9 EP 1 Hour Long Rest - 18 EP</blockquote>
