Editing Action Point

{{ood}}

'''Action Points''' are the method by which a character's Daily Powers are recharged. Each character has a gauge represented by a D20 in the middle of their Combat Action Bar. This gauge refills as the character gains more Action Points. When this bar is filled by the attainment of Action Points, a character's Daily Power is available for use. The use of a character's daily power depletes this gauge and a character must once again perform actions which grant Action Points to refill it.

According to the in-game tool-tips, each class can earn Action Points as follows:
* [[Barbarian]] - Dealing damage and using encounter powers
* [[Cleric]] - Healing or dealing damage
* [[Fighter]] - Taking or dealing damage and using encounter powers
* [[Paladin]] - Attacking foes and casting spells.
* [[Ranger]] - Dealing damage and using encounter powers.
* [[Rogue]] - Dealing damage
* [[Warlock]] - ???
* [[Wizard]] - Dealing damage

However, the tool-tips are misleading.  For instance, Guardian Fighters can gain Action Points from blocking attacks, but do not gain Action Points from taking unguarded damage unless they have the [[Martial Mastery]] paragon feat.
