[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9208423, member: 20564"] I'd like to give some counter examples to try to change your mind. Here's two staying in the D&D space. D&D 4e - everyone has the same amount of resources. One character using all of their dailies in one encounter and others in other ones doesn't break their relative balance. 13th Age - a d20, still reasonable to discuss in the D&D forum. You have a full heal up (equivalent of Long Rest) every 4 encounters regardless if it's a morning dungeon crawling or a two month safari. How can 4 times per 4 encounters be balancable, but 1 time per 4 encounters be absolutely un-balanceable? Answer: it's not. That's two counter examples right there: one where all character have nigh the exact same power frequencies, and one where the recharge mechanism is outside player manipulation. It's definitely possible to balance across multiple encounters using different paradigms than the current edition of D&D. [/QUOTE]
