[QUOTE="Xethreau, post: 6001116, member: 57584"] Thanks everybody for your thoughts so far. I have considered altering the definition of "Extended Rest," such as to being a week/weekend's worth of R&R, instead of 6 hours sleep. Simultaneously though, I am not sure if I am comfortable with doing that... But it would make healing/damage more realistic, and make daily powers more like "adventure" powers. So that's a cool idea. I will swing it, vs. this system, by my players. Thank you fba827 for your thoughts on the system presented. Here are my counter-thoughts. I meant to say "consumable item;" as written, you are absolutely correct, and I am correcting it ASAP. Now, I had half a mind to allow one to spend all daily powers to create a non-consumable magic item for free, but I did not like that one bit. Instead of granting more options on the adventure path, the thing encouraged adventurers to stay indoors and become master-smiths and such. No me gusta. From what I have seen of the Purple Cards (or Turnabouts as I call them), the effects are 30% of the time nothing less than world-changing. One of my PCs from the last game was born from the Turnabouts. Someone's turnabout allowed them to narrate the result of a history check, inventing a dragonborn general of some renown, and someone played one immediately after to "reveal" that said general was dead PC's father. So, the ability to gain an extra use of Turnabout, especially when rewards and wide-reaching-ness scale with level, I think is worth all one's daily powers. Though, you may be right about it being a bit much past level 12. Maybe a "For each daily sacrificed after the 4th, draw one more turnabout, and choose between the ones drawn." You make a good point, but I partially designed this power for use with non-bards, PC's leading large groups over land, or PC's traveling alone overland.
