Yeah, that's the sort of thing you really need, but then you have to deal with the same people who have issues with things like non-magical "encounter" or "daily" powers getting weird about it, when the real answer is that it works that way by convention, not any real in-world reason in a lot of cases.
I try to fully inform folks about the nature of games before play begins. If they get weird about it after that, it is there own dang fault, and they can just find a game more suited to their desires.
