We are currently in a little debate, of how the used
weave slots are refilled. In other words when does a channeler get the
full weave capacity back ? After midnight, after the next sunrise ? Does he require a certain amount of rest (e.g. 8 hours sleep) ? How do you guys handle this ? -------------------- Deryl, Blademaster: "Die with a little dignity" |

It's pretty much standard in d20 games for spell
slots or psionic power points or most similar things to be recovered after
8 hours of rest, with a caveat that you can't refresh your spell
slots/power points more than once in a 24 hour period. So even though the
rulebook doesn't say anything explicitly, that's what I'd do under normal
circumstances. In an emergency, though, you might want to let a channeler recover a few weave slots after a short period (an hour or so) of rest. It's been done in the novels, but it's kind of messy mechanically. -------------------- |

Thanks, that is what we figured out also. I think you have to distinguish between two types of abilities in AD&D and WoT RPGs. 1) Daily abilities which fatigue the character, such as channeling, wizard spells or for example the blade master sword form skill. Those can be regained after 8 hours of rest. 2) Abilities which are triggered by certain events. For example clerical spells in AD&D, which are recovered at the moment of the prayer, for example sunrise and do not depend on a 8 hour rest period. I am wondering if there are certain feats in WoT, which fall in the second category. How about Dark One's Own Luck ? What would be the trigger for those ? -------------------- Deryl, Blademaster: "Die with a little dignity" |

it SHOULD be after 8 hours of rest but i generally
say after midnight. since my games have as much action as roleplay, this
little rule has gotten my player out of a tight spot. Manty -------------------- For Those About To Rock, We Salute You |

I'd probably just think of it like being awake. If
you've had 8 hours of sleep or so, you're probably fine to go for about 16
hours of being awake. 8 hours of not using the One Power should probably
refresh you, whether you sleep or not, just as long as you don't use the
One Power pretty much. Take a "nap" from the One Power and you should
probably get some channeling ability back, for at least a short time.
