[QUOTE="eriktheguy, post: 5475434, member: 83662"] Similar ideas have been suggested. I think some paths/destinies allow similar AP use. Using this to recharge an encounter power is a little weak: you are almost always better off hitting with two at-wills than with one encounter power. Recharging dailies during short rests is a more palatable choice, and could help extend the adventuring day. Trying to discourage hoarding APs? Allowing players to use more than one per combat promotes hoarding. If they can only use one per fight, there is no point in storing up 5 for the boss fight; if they can use many per fight they can save up and act twice per round against the boss for 3 or more rounds. Maybe you can throw in a second bonus with the 'recharge encounter' usage of APs. A move action, a basic attack, free use of second wind or full defense. An action point for an encounter power just seems like too little compared to the extra at-will attack it could be granting. [/QUOTE]
