Our DM put in some pit traps, and once we found out where they were (the hard way!), and had to come back the same direction, the two eladrin said "I fey step over the trap". The DM was confused and initially did not allow it. I think he finally did, but only if you take a five minute rest inbetween fey steps.The question here (and this applies to all encounter powers, though the most easily accessible one is fey step because I can see using that outside of combat and not many others, unless they are utility powers) is how often can you use an encounter power (if at all) outside of combat? The ruling we got down to is that you can use it, but then it's gone unless you take a five minute rest to recharge the power. That seems right to me, which isn't overpowered at all, especially since if you are interrupted in that five minute rest, you don't have the power for the encounter.What do you all think?</blockquote>
