Build a rage meter that fills in a fight, waits to be used and then drains

A special-power meter sounds like a number that goes up. In play it needs rules: slower gains near the top, a full bar that does not leak away before you press the button, and a power mode that cannot refill itself. This entry shows the three states and the clock behind them.

Why this works

A stored power is only a choice if it waits for the player. A full bar that never fades lets them pick the moment, slower gains near the top keep a lucky hit from skipping the build-up, and a drain while active keeps the power a burst.

When not to use it

Skip it for characters who should be steady all fight long, or in a slow game with few hits where the bar would take forever to fill. A passive strength that grows with lost health gives the same drama more simply.
