12-05-05, 10:35 AM Hi, I looked through the forms here and I couldn't find an answer to question: What are action points, what can they do, and how are they determined?

I understand that you get a limited amount of them to spend for a special effect, but what effect do they produce?

My DM and I are starting a new gaming world composed of bits from other worlds like Eberron, steampunk, etc. and he mentioned that this would be in this game. We are also using VP/WP and armor as DR, but action points are the only rules that I do not know. Thanks for any replies.

I assume they are the same as the Ebberron rules.

Luckily, Unearthed Arcana is all Open Game Content (http://d20srd.org/srd/variant/adventuring/actionPoints.htm), which is why that site can reprint the material.
