[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 6329904, member: 184"] Personally (others may disagree), I'm going to take the name Second Wind literally. It's a second wind, an adrenaline rush, tapping the reserves of your energy when you are tiring and things are bleak. So of course you can use it in the midst of a battle, where the difference means life or death. But it's not something you use while strolling through the park, reading a book, or sharing a milkshake with your sweetie (or whatever else you might do during a short rest). It's not an ability where you channel your inner ki while meditating or knit broken bones like you have a mutant healing factor. It's about finding the will and the strength to finish the fight on the winning side. Do the rules specifically say that you have to use it during battle? No, but that's the great thing about this game, everyone can interpret it their own way. Also, I can see corner cases where a fighter is using after getting badly hurt outside of battle, say after a nasty fall, to sort of suck it up and move on. Just my own thoughts on the ability.
