The only rule is that if you use the dice from an action poin for an attack, you must describe it. If I do not think the new attack is 'action'y enough, you role as normal. Same for adding it to skills and saves. I use action points as a means to ensure an exciting game, i'm not the only one at the table telling this story you know. Now for Planescape, That point is abundantly clear, from exciting alien vistas to epic planes spanning treks; the players have a responcibility to themselves and each other to make the game as exciting as possible.

Something like, * Spend 1 AP and ignore the planar traits for 1 hour (too small?) * Spend 1 AP and add 40' to your movement in the Astral Plane I'm sure there are much better ideas out there for AP-Benefits, but I hope this gets my point across. Stuff like that could make APs and the Planes feel extra special. Cheers, Zeb
