Creatures have no
action points. However,
creatures can gain
action points by taking levels in a heroic character class. Every time a creature picks up a heroic class level, it gains a number of
action points equal to 5 + one-half its heroic character level (not counting the creature's starting Hit Dice). Like most heroic characters, however,
creatures with heroic class levels will have spent a certain number of
action points in the course of their "heroic" careers.
