How is it artificial to alter that recuperation method? Whether that's with a wound system, a slower surge recovery system, not allowing health to spring back, or stipulating that wound handwaving only occurs between set adventure or milestones cinematically? Cause those are all house rules I've seen.If the goal is 'I want to run a combat a day, but don't want players to just burn all their dailies and not care about their surges' then the solution is not 'Too bad'. I already see the problem with LFR (3 combats per day) that # of surges are largely meaningless and you can AP _every combat_ and daily once per combat. Change that to one combat and it throws a lot of the game out of whack.Some other options:Allow people to only use one daily attack or daily utility per encounter.Reduce the # of healing surges in the party drastically.Change Con to, instead of giving surges, give a modifier to your surge value.</blockquote>
