Message: <blockquote data-quote="KarinsDad" data-source="post: 4928932" data-attributes="member: 2011">I have an action point house rule (2 action points per encounter) that allows the PC to swap back in an encounter power for an action point, get an extra action (limited to one per encounter), or use an action point instead of a healing surge when magically healed (i.e. via potion or spell, not second winds).This has worked well in our game because the PCs are only slightly more powerful and versatile because of it, but they can have 8 or more encounters in a day if the players use their action points wisely. However, some players rarely use the action points for a healing surge and we still end up in situations where most of the PCs are fine, but one or two PCs are low on healling sugres and want to stop for the day. But, dailies are typically the limiting factor for us.I think the game would be ok without healing surges at all. There really is no strong balance need for them. Dailies would still limit the game to x number of encounters. However, some players might not like the concept of being healed up the entire way for every single new encounter. That does seem a bit artificial.</blockquote>
