In our group we have some concerns about adding complexity to the game by bolting on new economies, etc.  I considered an idea similar to the one presented by .5 Elf above, blending Fate Points into action points, but I feel like that's not the best fit possible -- APs are a much more scare commodity than fate points are in Dresden, if I'm reading the game right. The idea I'm kicking around right now is mostly a version of what Weem is suggesting, but instead of using fate points as the currency, fate points are healing surges.  IMO there are a lot of interesting synergies when you treat FP as HS in this way.  You can throw out a lot of your recovery rules, and you get some interesting effects -- like, when a PC is low on surges he's much more likely to behave badly (accept a compel rather than buy it off with a Healing Surge). There's even a decent precedent for using healing surges for things other than restoring health and hit points -- the martial practices system uses healing surges to pay for most of the practices a PC might complete -- including those that really don't require physical labor.  Am I completely nuts?  Do you think that could work?-j</blockquote>
