Action Points
Action Points in 4e are fairly different from 3.5 APs (either Eberron or whatever). They're given out daily, you use it or you loose it.
At the end of every extended (8hrs) of rest you lose all your APs from the prior day and gain one new one.
Every time you hit a milestone you get another.
A milestone occurs after every two encounters you have in one day.
So in the first encounter Tyron spent an action point, an hour later when he'sattacked by an owlbear he won't have any more to use. But after that encounter (the second of the day) you've passed a milestone.
If you're then attacked by something else (the 3rd encounter of the day) he'd have another to spend.
If Adain has been traveling with him and fighting all day but spent no action points he'd have 2 (the one he got first thing in the morning after his extended rest +1 more for hitting the milestone).
edit: As sg schooled me, you can only spend one action point an encounter.
Basically, they're a very tactical resource now.
