Avatar fixes are the only solution that will do anything. I'm hoping SMN gets a passive adjustment to the timer:

Use a BP before timer is ready, counter increments by 1. 10 is highest counter value.
BP timer is ready, counter resets to 1.

BP cost = base cost * (100% * (counter)) * blood boon adj

Use BPs at will. Weaker physical BPs can be spammed, higher level ones are *very* expensive.
