[QUOTE="keterys, post: 6394819, member: 43019"] Immersion is not at all one of the things any version of D&D gives me, unfortunately. Way too many mechanics, very few of which are actually logical from a realism standpoint and often not even a genre standpoint. That said, I'd shy away from "X ability every Y encounters". I was more tempted by saying you can use something once a level; once a level you get the epiphany you need to overexert and do the awesome thing. It's not a question of more stamina, or needing to rest extra. It's genuinely special and something you cannot do on demand. It would also be interesting if D&D figured out a way to make a "day's worth of activity" able to be spread reasonably between one encounter (useful for voyages, city campaigns, etc) or many (useful for dungeon delves). Alternatively, if it put a lot more constraints on the ability to use many limited-use abilities all in one encounter, that you then recoup by forcing the issue of rest. But, really, at the end of the day, none of that is what D&D is about. [/QUOTE]
