[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 5797614, member: 1465"] Yours a nice idea actually. But generally speaking I think AP and similar should really be optional, because usually they fall into two types: (a) AP designed to be used for fairly minor benefits, such getting a bonus, a reroll, or an extra action. These are balanced benefits and hardly break the game, sometimes can save a PC from death, but they are most commonly used to avoid the effect of bad luck, and only once in a while they are used to create a cool "stunt". IMHO they don't significantly change the gaming experience and as such are unnecessary for most gaming groups, hence better be optional. (b) AP designed to really allow to creatively bend the rules of the game every now and then, to help the players solve problems in unexpected ways (mostly because near-impossible without AP), typically with a "flashy" scene. This type of AP is usually rules-light and very subjective, so it's even less suitable to be a mandatory part of the game. [/QUOTE]
