I'm actually not entirely sure about the rule on this. My point is that the rule on action points does not say anything about when in the round you can use it. I assume this means you can use it at the beginning of your round if you choose, while still retaining your other actions. This actually makes a huge difference in some tactical aspects of the game. This is especially true in my case, being that I am currently playing a rogue.The most recent scenaria in which it came up was while using my newly acquired 5th level daily power Downward Spiral. I had charged one of the front combatants we were facing with my standard action, then I used a move action to tumble into the middle of their ranks. At this point I used my action point and used Downward Spiral which affects all around me in a close burst 1, knocking all prone. Assuming the rules allow this, I then used my remaining minor action to use Low Slash. It was pivotal to use Low Slash last because after Downward Spiral they were all prone, thus granting me combat advantage and sneak attack with Low Slash. I'm wondering if I can save my minors or moves until after the action point. The rule seems to allow it!</blockquote>
