This is explicit in the rules and nowhere did it say that they recharged at the start of the encounter however they were named.A 4e character might not know what "an encounter" is - but they do know what a five minute break to catch their breath and possibly any of clean their weapons bandage their wounds, loot the bodies, and grab a quick bite and drink of water. And that was the explicit recharge mechanic for encounter powers. The idea that encounter powers recharge because an encounter starts is something by people not reading the 4e rules and by poor presentation of the 4e rules.Now can we please take this piece of nonsense about 4e and bury it under a crossroads with a stake through its heart? It's been almost fifteen years since 4e launched.</blockquote>
