It's their actions points, they can spend it however they like. And I disagree as far as its not promoting "actiony" stuff, I think it does promote heroic actions on the part of the PCs. I also don't think that it is a means of necessarily avoiding character deaths since the PCs still have to think strategically and optimize their characters to be able to survive. I think action points reinforce the idea that the PCs are not ordinary and are heroes, that to a certain extent they are destined to succeed, although not in a deterministic way, meaning they can still fail if they behave stupidly, and I allow my PCs to fail if they behave stupidly. (I don't cheat on die rolls for instance.)</blockquote>
