I just started to look through my book once more, and i ran into this topic on page 13, and noted something that i dont quit understand, which is a rule i have never used (or noticed):
Red stones regenerate into your Energy Reserve at the beginning of a new Page. One red stone will regenerate at the end of every Panel for each white stone of health that you have, ect
So the way i read this is; a Page is when every player have had a Panel, and at the end of Each panel, they Regenerate their Health in red stones, and at the beginning of next page, they will also regenerate stones. But how many is it they regenerate? I have never used this rule since i dident notice when reading the rules, and so far, i havent seen any one els use it either...

Well as each character only has one Panel per Page the regeneration rate is your current health in red stones (unless something else changes that). It's just poor wording because of the relative interchangability of the two words.

I'm confused. If you didn't use this rule, what did you use for Energy regeneration?

Im not even sure what the rule is... It just states that they regenerate red stones at the begining of a page, not how much.... But i just regenerated red stones each panel, and that was the only way to get red stones (there was offcourse healers to)... This have always worked fine for me and im gona keep using it, but when i saw this i was wanted to find out how it was suppose to work...
And holland, what do they then regenerate at the start of a page?

So besides regenerating at the end of each panel, they also regenerate at the begining at a new page... That dosent sound to bad...

Ya know, a few years back I read that with much confusion, and I think they're using the term "page" and "panel" interchangably. I've noticed through the book that, for the most part, whenever something says its duration is in panels, it means panels of the user, rather than panels of actual play. If "page" and "panel" really are as interchangable as I think, then it would mean we've been handling energy correctly on this board for so long. Still, just another example of why these books aren't the best source material out there.

Yea, the best source for material is the internet... Or sometimes it is... And im not saying we have been doing it the wrong way (its been working very nicely and "logical" so far"... I just wondered why/what/ect that sentence meant... Because if i read it as it wrigten, it means the character will regenerate energy two times faster (at the end of a panel, and the start of a page, which is when everyone have had their panel).

Technically your panel doesn't end until the page ends, having an initiative order is just for convienience.

You only regenerate red stones once per page, or 'revolution of initiative'. You don't regen after your panel, or 'specific character's two actions'. Only once per 'revolution of initiative'.

Okay, now I understand your confusion.
So, the above presentations are correct. You regenerate a number of red stones equal to your current white stones once per Page (1 Page = 1 full revolution of Panels). Whether you do this at the end of your Panel, the beginning of the Page, or whenever, probably doesn't matter, and different times could probably create different dynamics in the system.
But I think the important thing is that you only get your Health stones back in Energy once per Page.

I just followed the example of combat between the Brotherhood and the X-Men, they regenerate every page, that is, when everyone's panels are done.

I am. Ive been using that way since i began playing this game, just wanted to talk about this. Like, was it a mistype? Just another one of the errors? A intervention by the Gods? The local kids playing a prank on me?... I just needed to know

There's no error. Just a semi-confusing explanation, and their annoying interchangable usage of Panel and Page, when they're different concepts.

yeah it's confusing at best....
say i have 4 players and a NPC they're fighting.... each takes a panel (5 panels) it goes back to the first player...now it's a new page (1 panel per each of 5 players = 5 panels = 1 page) now the qeustion is... does Just player number one regenerate? or does everyone? i do everyone, cause i think it's alil more fair.
