'''Specific Beats General''' | |||
Whenever you run into rules that conflict with one another, defer to the most specific ruling. A talent or lineage ability should always supersede a general rule, and magical effects that last for a finite time override passive abilities. | Whenever you run into rules that conflict with one another, defer to the most specific ruling.

'''Reachargin Abilities''' | |||
Many abilities, especially those gained through talents, can only be used a finite number of times. You regain these abilities after you Catch your Breath, Recoup, or Take a Rest, as denoted by the ability. (2/Rest) means that you can use the ability twice, regaining the ability to do so after you Take a Rest. Similarly, (AWR/Recoup) means that you can use the ability a number of times equal to your AWR, regaining all expended uses when you Recoup. | Many abilities, especially those gained through talents, can only be used a finite number of times.
