[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 7531479, member: 82106"] HoML's implementation of this is: At-Will powers are as they say, same as 4e. Intermittent powers are free to use once per encounter. You can pay a 1 VP (HS) cost to re-use them if you want, but of course they are less powerful than Vitality powers, usually. Vitality powers ALWAYS cost one VP (HS). There is no free use of these powers. All PCs have 8 HS in this system, and could have up to 10 at Mythic levels (Epic Tier). There isn't a refresh system, you simply have to be careful and husband your resources. Utilization rates come out similar to 4e. You're not likely to use your Vitality powers more than a couple times in a day. APs are also subsumed in this VP system, so taking an extra action to unleash a Vitality power is a significant cost! Definitely worth it though in a climactic scene (and you can do some things to increase your effectiveness, like spending your inspiration). [/QUOTE]
