Editing Opend20: Character Creation (section)

==Action Points==

Action points are the butter on the bread that is OpenD20.  By purchasing lots of action points, you create a character who can 'fudge' the game play, move out of turn more often, and who is rarely left without the points to pay for their powers.  This kind of character (more often than not) will be younger or less experienced.  In fact, lots of action points might be the only thing your character brings to the party - a 'lucky' character who just happened to get caught up in something much larger.  On the other hand, a character who has more skills and powers is going to be more solid and reliable - someone with more experience, perhaps an older character or the 'team leader'.  

When creating a character, decide whether you want them to be able to always perform to standard, until they run out of points, or if you would prefer to rely on your skills checks.  Read the [[Opend20:_Action_Points|Action Points]] section for more information.
