In a recent thread (can't remember which one) someone mentioned adding Fate Points to D&D (http://www.faterpg.com/dl/FATE2fe.pdf)
That got me thinking: What if, instead of just ADDING Fate Points, you instead REPLACE Action Points with Fate Points? Keep the "once per encounter, use one to take an extra action" bit, but use the Fate rules for gaining them and for spending them on other stuff.
One "downside" I can see is that characters will be much more likely to use a Fate Point to take an extra action every combat (instead of averaging slightly-more than every-other combat) since they start with more of them.
Do you see any other potential complications?
