[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6014589, member: 463"] From Compendium: [I]Action Points Action points allow creatures to take more actions than normal. Adventurers each start with 1 action point, and some monsters have action points, as noted in their stat blocks. Typically an adventurer spends an action point to pull off an extra attack, to move farther than normal, to take the second wind action in the same turn that he or she attacks, and so on. Spend an Action Point Action: Free action. A creature must have an action point in order to take this action. Also, the creature can take this action[B] only during its turn[/B], and [B]never during a surprise round[/B].... ...Once per Encounter or Round: An adventurer can spend an action point only once per encounter. In contrast, a monster that has action points can spend more than 1 action point during an encounter, but only 1 per round.[/I] There is no "end of turn" limit. You can spend it at any time during your own turn (but not in a surprise round). [/QUOTE]
