Recharging Encounter Powers

[T-Bone JiuJitsu]

Idea:

Allow PCs to recharge one Encounter power by taking a second wind and spending a Healing Surge

Two ways to do this...

1. Normal Second Wind. Spend Healing Surge for healing, plus a second Healing Surge to recharge one spent Encounter power.

2. Second Wind. Spend one Healing Surge to EITHER Heal OR recharge a spent Encounter Power.

Thoughts?

I vote for 2.

1 is all the benefits of Second Winda lready and a Healing Surge is too small a price to pay for a character that doesn't get hit often. A Standard Action and a surge is essentially a surge and an Action point.

Since some PPs get to spend Action Points to recharge powers this seems to be a more appropriate cost.

I suspect Infernal Warlocks benefit the most from this due to having lots of surges that normally don't get used.
