[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 9092663, member: 50987"] It can work if that's the style of play that your group is used to, and if you have the right kind of social contract at the table. See, the DM already knows that you are low on resources, and has known it for a while--I mean, they're right there at the table with you, listening to you spend those resources all night long. It would be weird if they didn't! So if it feels like those abilities aren't recharging fast enough, the players know that there's a reason for that. It's possible that the DM is trying to build tension, or trying to set the pacing, or trying to balance the party's power level against an upcoming encounter, or any other number of things that might be happening on the other side of the screen. Or the DM might be a jerk who's out to "get you" and enjoys laughing at your misery. And if that's the case, you have a bigger problem and a different recharge mechanic won't change anything.
