As I am not limited as to why "in character" its an encounter power in a sense.My fighter or Rogues "in character" Encounter power is a trick that I can only use against a given character  once.  This is my favorite and short rest abilities model them poorly.My Druids Encounter power "in character" is a trick that requires the venue either be purified with a ritual after its been cast in order to do it again or that there be a significant change of scene.My Wizards Encounter power "in character" is a magical incantation very vancian style which I can only contain once and I have to pull back in by a glance at my books easily done in a minute or so. Actual Jack Vance stories  I am pretty sure did not have a daily requirement.This other fighter "in character" sees his encounter power (a huge massive jump perhaps) as straining a certain calve muscle in a specify way and a short rest works fine.To me short rest feels less flexible and less able to represent cool things.</blockquote>
