[QUOTE="Rel, post: 4595940, member: 99"] I don't run a ton of d20 Modern but it is the system I use for the one-shot Sky Galleons of Mars games at game days and GenCon. When I do, I have made a few modifications to the Action Point system: They "explode". Meaning that if you roll a 6 then you keep rolling until you don't roll a 6. This means that they can have a bigger range of impact and rolling them isn't futile even if you rolled really crappy on the d20 roll. You can add them to damage instead of the d20 roll. Again, with the exploding, this can mean some really huge damage rolls once in a while. Doesn't happen often but when it does it is memorable and fun. I also use them for those "break the rules" situations. If the player wants the character to do something outside the rules then I just have them spend an action point and go for it. This keeps me from ever spending any time digging through rulebooks looking for a particular rule. [/QUOTE]
