Two ideas that I have been toying with:

1) Allow characters to spend an action point during a skill challenge to re-roll a failed skill check.

2) Allow a skill challenge to count as an encounter for the purposes of a milestone, thus allowing characters to regain an action point. In order for a skill challenge to count, there has to be a significant consequence for failing the skill challenge.


Thoughts?

When do you use a skill that's not an encounter? Stuff like Traps count as an encounter, so seems to me that pretty much anything from a social encounter to a brainstorm encounter would be encounters as well.

However, I agree with the first suggestion, it's a fair house rule.
