I have an idea to change action points from giving you an extra action to letting you recharge powers (1/power, and powers with multiple charges only buy you one charge). You can use this on any power you like; encounter or daily, including Second Wind. Recharging a daily power can only be done between combats though to prevent hoarding APs and going spam-happy with one attack over and over.
The idea here is to help cut down on nova and keep tension high, letting people use their awesome daily powers more, and cutting down on the resting at unreasonable intervals. Allowing it to recharge Second Wind gives people a little more individual utility for self-preservation (as well as providing some classes some interesting benefits and giving players more than just their encounter powers as triggers for their Paragon Path AP benefit), and allows a little more aggression than usual on the table from the monsters.
You still gain APs at the same rate (1/milestone, and resting resets you to 1), but can use as many as you want per combat (aside of the daily power rule, and the PP effect only works once).
Input is welcome
