Another effect if fairly predictable like any resource they would almost always save them for the "big" fights.  As the campaign got farther along the main effect is that they have been used almost entirely for saving throws. This from a player standpoint is probably the best use of the resource but I had originally hoped that the action points might have been used more to try to do things that they might have not attempted without them.  All in all I have a mixed reaction to them they help character survivability which is a good effect but my main goal to add a herioc element to the campaign was not realized in any meaningful way.  I am starting a campaign as a player that will be using them with slight adjustments so hopefully I will get the other side of the picture.</blockquote>
