But if they were different in ability, like the per encounter smiter were 15th level and the per day smiter 5th, then it would make sense that the lower level guy would need more rest. What would not makes sense is if there were multiple per day uses of an ability, instead of per encounter. Why should he be able to smite two, three, or four times in a row, and not again for the rest of the day? You can use the idea of being blessed only for so many uses by his god or a some kind vancian rationale, but that's just another way of saying 'because it's magic'. And there would be no excuse for purely martial powers, which should be balanced with magic types across however many encounters come up. So what I expect we'll see is a few 1/day abilities, more per encounter abilities, and high levels providing what was per day as per encounter.</blockquote>
