[QUOTE="Anthtriel, post: 3870069, member: 13764"] I'm seriouly impressed pawsplay. You not only managed to ignore every single post in this thread, including the opening post, you also managed to ignore half of the post you responded to. In all the years I have written in forums, that never happened to me. Not that extremely. Fortunately, the ENWorld mods do their jobs very well, so I won't be too aggressive, but if you manage to ignore the entire point of this thread: "Per encounter means recharge after x minutes" again, then I will assume your reading competence is too bad to discuss anything with you. Doesn't matter, it only matters whether they had x minutes of rest or not. I specifically pointed that out and you just ignored it. That doesn't give you much credibility. Sure.
