iaw: Hypertext d20 srd I find this:
When you spend 1 action point to improve a d20 roll, you add the result of a 1d6 to your d20 roll (including attack rolls, saves, checks, or any other roll of a d20) to help you meet or exceed the target number. You can declare the use of 1 action point to alter a d20 roll after the roll is made, but only before the GM reveals the result of that roll. You can’t use an action point to alter the result of a d20 roll when you are taking 10 or taking 20.
--What that seems to say is that if you need a bit of a boost you can expend 1 AP to your crit confirm roll to be able to try and make it, but you have to do so before i proclaim if it was a confirm or not.
It may be that you may already know whether or not you have a confirm by previous attacks in a combat, but if not, I would say that you would need to say in your initial post before i reconcile actions.
::::::::::Thoughts or comments anyone?::::::::::
Seems reasonable to me. It might slow things down a little in a pbp situation though.
