[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 2825391, member: 2002"] I've been in his Eberron game since 8th level. They tend to get ignored until we're in the "big massive fight" or almost to the next level, then burned like cordwood. At least in my case, that is. The only problem I have with Action Points is that they tend to ONLY get used for Saves and Attack rolls. I'm the GM for this new campaign and I'm planning on using a self-designed "hero point" system that purposely DOES NOT allow them to be used for Saves and Attack rolls. Mostly I want them to be used for other things. Like "1 hero point to use a feat that you don't currently have for 1 round", "1 point to attempt something not covered by the rules" and "2 hero points to take half damage from any one opponent's attacks. [i]But only if the damage would otherwise kill you[/i]" We'll see how it works out. Worst case scenario I go back to Action Points, but continue to allow some of the special stuff. [/QUOTE]
