Getting away from "Daily" and "Milestone"

[Feauce]

Actually, Falling Icicle had it right, i WAS suggesting that you spend a healing surge to cast it...BUT...I think the idea of spending a healing surge to recover a spent daily might be better.

Thoughts?

My group has been using the 1 AP/encounter and 1 AP + 1 HS = recharge daily house rules, and it looks to be going rather well. Even given this option, there is more that an AP can give a character (an extra action being one of the better ones), so it isn't going to make everyone only use them for recharging their dailies.

That's actually a decent idea. I'd put two limitations on it, though.

1) Make it a per-encounter thing, so if you burn, say 2 dailies in one encounter, you can only recover one of them during or before the next encounter,

and

2) Make it so you cannot recover a daily in the same encounter in which you used it.

Hmmm, thinking about it, the easiest way to do both of the above is to state it as "You may spend one healing surge during a Short Rest to recover a single daily power. Only one healing surge per Short Rest may be spent in this manner."

Short, simple, straightforward.

I like this. It doesn't tax players to use their dailies normally, but it does give them a simple way to recover their favorite moves.

I'm going to have to try this out.
