[QUOTE="Starfox, post: 4616195, member: 2303"] A suggestion to cover the "players gan less" angle. I doubled the points gain and costs, then increased the gain by 50% to restore the balance of one daily item + 1 extra action every two encounters. Brings the math closer to the original. [COLOR="DarkOrange"][B]You gain three Action Points each time you complete a Short Rest (i.e. after each encounter)[/b] [size=1][i]Of course, the DM is still empowered to judge a very small encounter to give 1-2 AP or a very large encounter to give 4-6 APs, etc...[/i][/size] [b]Spending two AP allows you to use a Daily item power (PHB226).[/b] [size=1][i]Each individual such power can still only be used once a day, as normal.[/i][/size] [b]Spending four APs allows you to take an extra action (PHB286).[/B] [size=1][i]Instead of taking an extra action when you spend two action points, you can use a paragon path feature or an action-point activated feat, also as normal.[/i][/size][/COLOR] All other rules and regulations related to this are dropped. Simple huh? After each extended rest, your unused APs are lost and you start out with 2-4 APs as follows: Heroic Tier: 6 AP Paragon Tier: 9 APs Epic Tier: 12 APs [/QUOTE]
