It stretches believability somewhat, but you are quite right, the rules as written do allow the fighter to be at peak capacity throughout the whole day. He's somewhat like a line that runs horizontally, if you can imagine a graph of power over time, as the loss of hitpoints doesn't actually affect his attack rolls.Mages, on the other hand, would have a line that is somewhat diagonal, with a peak at the beginning of the day and sliding down to the right hand side as they used up their limited resources. Of course, the best way to play a mage is to not use all of your resources and get some safe rest to get them back. Mages are like artillery: big bang for your buck but you got to keep that supply of artillery shells coming for them to stay effective. Every class is different, of course.</blockquote>
