[4E] Essential House Rules

[hirou]

Thanks for the feedback hirou; I'm happy to hear that you've got some mileage out of my work!

Just a clarification: I'm not the author of this AP, just a DM, but it seems that authors had similar ideas to you.

perhaps limiting surges expended via rituals to being regained at a rate of 1 per extended rest.
The surge casting rules as presented assume a standard 4-5 encounters per extended rest that are taxing, require the expenditure of daily powers and impose surge loss through damage.

Thanks for the insight. The proposed scheme basically limits surge casting to 1 ritual/day "for free", and the following rituals will result in h.s. penalty, this may work. Zeitgeist has roughly "double XP rate" (actually, level ups just happen based on plot progression), and I don't want to slow that down, full lvl1-30 campaign takes a lot of our time even in this version.
