I particularly appreciate the posts from those of you who play leader's regularly. @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=8900" target="_blank">Tony</a>_Vargas re. dailies and resting. You are absolutely right about that. I'm hoping that the medium rest concept will give players a couple of meaningful decision points when they are deciding to go on with a couple of different options. I tend to use my enounter budget on a high number of L-1 to L-3 NPCs supporting an L or L+1 encounter leader. This pattern leads to a lot of surge loss for the party without over pushing the threat of death. With the party frequently facing twice their number in non-minions the defender can't lock them all down.  The party will often have a good number of dailies left between them when they start feeling the pinch on surges. @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=22779" target="_blank">Hussar</a> the only concern I have with increasing the effectiveness of surges used during short rests is having tow different resolution mechanics during play. We do add and lose players occasionally and a rule for surge recover that is complete in itself seems like a smaller and easier to convey rule change. I think I will add the medium rest rule with the number of surges recovered being scaled to a characters base number of surges (1/3 of value seems good) and only usable twice a day. I wouldn't expect this rule to be used every session. For now, I'm going to leave the in combat healing mechanics alone and give them some more thought. I may be trying to piecemeal the pacing issue and I'm not sure the pacing of 4e combats can be addressed in small steps. The system is too tightly interconnected.</blockquote>
