You either have a point left for movement or you don’t, and you either spend it to move up to your BMR or you don’t. This simplifies the game math because you’re never left with 17% activity remaining in your turn, trying desperately to find your calculator to figure out what 17% of your BMR of 45′ is, and whether that will get you within melee range of the orc archer over there. And note that the studio that made Divinity (Larian Studios) is now busily at work making Baldur’s Gate III.īasically, the idea behind an action point economy is that instead of actions costing a percentage of your round’s activity, they instead just cost points. If you liked the old isometric Baldur’s Gate games, I think you will probably like Divinity. (I recommend you try Divinity 2 rather than 1, because for reasons I explain below, Divinity 1 had a somewhat different system). I am blogging about this because I think the RMu’s new action point economy sometimes gets dismissed by players before they’ve really tried it - who wants to change a system you’ve been using for decades? But I wanted to suggest that if you are on the fence about this issue and really want to experience a game with an action economy like RMu’s, you can try Divinity: Original Sin 2. That sounds much like RMu’s new action economy, but in fact it is also the system in the videogame Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Tell me if this sounds familiar: Each character gets 4 Action Points to spend on activity each round.
