That, and that I don't need to give my Solos another +2 to defenses...Even if a level 10 Solo only has one Healing Surge a day, the prospect of these items ever finding their way into the hands of the adventurers forces me to add a specific "once a day" restriction to the item. Still the item might be over-powered. How valuable is getting essentially a second Second Wind each day?Pretty valuable, I grant you that. But is it overpowering? I'm hoping Paragon and Epic adventurers have several ways to spend surges in combat, and thus that this item won't be a must-have item there. For Heroic PCs, of course the item is very valuable. But there the cost of 5,000 isn't insignificant, I hope. While still not so high that the urge to simply sell it (for 1,000 gold) becomes irresistible.Again, your input would be most appreciated! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
