That way people who dislike the idea can avoid it completely. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> (That's also why I don't feel it'd be a big issue to add on when it's not baked in.)2) What it adds is an option between "at-will" and "per short rest." Right now, there's no "per encounter" in 5E, and a lot of people dislike that idea because of the nebulous issue of when an encounter ends. Rolling recharge provides that option. It's also more realistic for some people who dislike limitations on certain non-magical abilities. This is sort of an easy way of determining if the opportunity comes up again.3) In terms of bookkeeping, no, I figure you would only roll recharge when you want to try to use the power again. If it fails, you do something else, but if it succeeds, you use the power right then. No "rolling just to see."I get that it wouldn't work for everyone, and I'm not saying they're in any way "wrong." Believe me, I don't want it to become a core/semi-core thing. I just think it'd be a good option to have for those occasional powers/feats/classes where the existing options don't quite fit.</blockquote>
