Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sir Brennen" data-source="post: 2594484" data-attributes="member: 553">This action point solution sounds very interesting.  I wonder, however, if all these abilities are equal.  Take for example a 9th level Bard and 9th level Barbarian.  Under the RAW, bard can use his Bardic Music Abilities 9 times per day, while the Barbarian can only Rage 3 times.  Using Action points, if the Bard and Barbarian have the same number, the Barbarian can Rage as many times as the Bard can use Bardic Music.  Perhaps Rage should cost 2 (or even 3 ) action points instead?  Or maybe characters get a number of non-cumulative action points equal to X, where X is the number used in each x/day ability.  So the bard gets 9 extra AP at 9th level, while the barbarian has only 3.  That still doesn't quite feel right, but you can see where I'm going.Also nice about this is tying it into the variant metamagic feat from UA, where metamagicking a spell can be done on the fly, but only x/times per day (I think UA is once, but there when this variant originally appeared, it was 3 times per day.)  So now, metamagic'd spells are done using an action point.  Sweet.</blockquote>
