To me, it doesn't seem very different from games that use action points - the DM has to pause for a bit to give the player a chance to state that he is using an action point after he has made a d20 roll, instead of announcing immediately whether it is a success or failure.I does change the rhythm of the game, but not necessarily in a bad way.</blockquote>
