[QUOTE="Keith Robinson, post: 3127264, member: 21330"] Yes, that does happen occasionally. However, the PC's are often pretty much out of Action Points by the time they're near levelling. Not always, though, so it does happen occasionally. Action Points are so ingrained in our game that the PC's use them regularly for all manner of things. In one desperately heroic moment, I remember the party wizard using an action point to find and open a secret door as they fled from the encounter! I actually think that allowing the PC's to accumulate action points would a) see them not using them as regularly and b) see them have a huge stash of action points for the those really tough encounters. Refreshing them at every level seemed to be more balanced IMO and has worked well in our campaign. I've really never found action points unbalancing. Our campaigns are tough, with all dice rolls in the open. Action points seem to help counter balance those occasions when it all goes wrong for the PC's and has saved them too many times to remember.
