Since Action points is alot more common in this edition, i don't think subjective rewards like that will hurt the game. naturally you have to watch out for the spider-in-a-bag abuse, though i doubt it would happen if you are very subjective about dealing out AP's.  until you get the feat that gives you the opportunity to use multiple AP's per encounter. i bet a dollar that it's in there somewhere. and solos get two action points, how would they use that if they are supposed to only fight through one encounter?</blockquote>
