[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 4982666, member: 12460"] You use an action point at the beginning of a battle. Say you make the following rolls: 14 7 18 1 12 You feel confident that 18 is going to succeed at whatever it is you need it to. That 14 has pretty good odds too. The 1 will automatically fail so you decide to ignore it. And you know the 7 doesn't have much of a chance of succeeding unless it is one of your really strong suits. Meanwhile the 12 is right around the average. With a few points extra you would feel pretty confident. So you decide to bump it by rolling an action point. You roll the action point and add: 12 +3 (action point) If the battle ends before you need to use the 12, you get to keep the action point as if it were never spent. When you roll a skill check and most other uses of the d20, you decide right then and there whether to add the action point. Voda Vosa, just do your best. The rules are only there to help the game run more smoothly based on my experience running PBP here and on other forums. Same with the character sheet. It's just easier if everyone uses the same sheet and I don't have to hunt in different places for the same information. [/QUOTE]
