Action Dice

"So the system is designed to revolve around AP and not just having them around “just in case”.

That rather defeats the point of having them IMO. Especially with the system they use. Of course having not read anything myself, I can't say completely. This way it's just another game mechanic you have to be worried about running out of and not having enoguh. My players have enough problems keeping spells and hp in good numbers adding in more just means they have to worry about more. Then again, my players are below average skill IMO.

What I meant was that there are quite a lot of feats that use AP to accomplish things. And since feats are always chosen by the players they get to decide how valuable the APs are - its just that they have more possbilities to use them on in the setting.

I'd have to play it to get a good feel for it, but it sounds a lot different from any other systems I've used with action points and such.

That`s why I am leaning towards the AD-as-instant-rewards policy, instead
of just renewing the pool at each level.
