[QUOTE="Radiating Gnome, post: 2843648, member: 150"] Actually, more than the XP system, I'll be interested to see how you feel about action points after you've played with them for a while. I ran an eberron game for about a year, and in the end I decided I didn't really like action points all that much. It creates a pretty big shift in the effectiveness of magic and special abilities on the PCs -- that bonus of +1d6 or so to their saving throws makes it a lot more likely that they're going to make their saves, especially when they really need it (which tends to be the point at which a failed save would be the most interesting). It puts the DM in the position of needing to use a bit more brute force to put PCs out on the razor's edge. Your experience may vary -- you level your players far less frequently than a standard campaign, and that means that the PCs will need to save their APs for special occassions, but still. It'll be interesting to see what you think. -rg [/QUOTE]
