Carrying a light load does not encumber a character Action points Action points provide characters with the means to affect game play in significant ways. A character always has a limited amount of action points, and while the character replenishes this supply with every new level he or she attains, the character must use them wisely. A character can spend 1 action point to do one of these things: Improve Roll: Alter a single d20 roll used to make an attack, a skill check, an ability check, a level check, or a saving throw.( A character can declare the use of 1 action point to alter a d20 roll after the roll is made-but only before the GM reveals the result of that roll (whether the attack or check or saving throw suc-ceeded or failed). A character can't use an action point on a skill check or ability check when he or she is taking 10 or taking 20) Use a class talent or class feature during your turn for which the expenditure of 1 action point is required. Extra Action: You can spend an action point on your turn to gain an additional standard or move action this turn. Stabilisation: You can spend an action point on your turn to authomatically stabilize yourself if uncontious. Use Feat: You can spend an action point on your turn to use a feat that you dont have for a turn, but only if you meet all the requirements for it’s use. All Stalkers start the game with 3 single time use Action points in addition to the ones that regenerate every day (Depending on the difficulty). If a character spends a point to use a class feature, he or she can't spend another one in the same round to improve a die roll, and vice versa. If the hero has reached character level 6 and has the Lucky feat, he or she may be able to roll more than one d6 when spending 1 action point. If the character does so, apply the highest result and disregard the other rolls. If the Character has the Heroic Surge feat, he can use them both at the same round, but not for an extra action.
