Action points to monsters an NPCs

[cmrscorpio]

I voted PCs only. I run an Eberron game so NPCs can theoretically get APs if they have the Heroic Spirit feat, but I've only given it to one or two NPCs.

Yeah, I use the Eberron model, too. I have not yet given any NPCs that feat.

In D&D, Action Points are for PCs only.

You mean in "your" campaign, as the Action Point rules explicitly states that you may want to grant important NPC's Action Points.

Absolutely. The OP asked what happens in our games; I take any answer therefore to automatically mean "In my game....." whether the poster writes it or not. I absolutely meant in my game.

Right on.

All PCs as well as NPCs who take Heroic Spirit get action points.

PCs, important NPCs, and major villans.

I give them to the players. (not an option). If a PC dies, it carries over to that players next pc.

I don't use them, but if I would, I'd limit them to special NPTs, and then only give out a fraction of what a PC of that level would get. Otherwise, I'd be tempted to let the NPT use all of his action points (you're usually supposed to use over the course of a whole chapter) in his one fight. Could get nasty.

Indeed, certain NPCs need that feat to make sense. Without it there would be no NPC Extreme Explorers (or pretty pathetic ones).

I'm thinking of a new rule: Any monster or NPC that I spent more than half an hour making gets an action point.
