[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 2706470, member: 3424"] I believe RPGA Eberron uses campaign cards to simulate action points. IIRC, you can spend a card to get +1d6 to a d20 roll, and specific cards allow certain special actions, e.g. prevent an opponent from turning his threat into a critical hit, automatically avoid one AOO, etc. I can see cards like that as an add-on enhancement to an action point system, or some other system that allows the players more control ober the game (fate point, hero point, drama deck cards, etc). I don't think they would go down well if they were necessary (unless they were free and readily available), but they could add an additional dimension of fun to the game (kind of like miniatures ;)). I'm all for cards that make running the game easier, like Summon Monster reference cards, initiative cards, and equipment cards. [/QUOTE]
