I understand that there is he potential for this to be abused, but no more than tick frenzy. It could also be justified on the basis that character who excercise their abilities more are likely to learn from doing so.
One alternative would be to put Plot Point awards in the hands of the GM. However this is also liable to abuse. Just as some players are likely to try and minimax the game system, so not all GMs are evenhanded in their awards of bonus points, EPs or whatever.
It strikes me as being a simple system that strikes a ballance between the evils of munchkin abuse and GM fiat. I'd like to see how it plays as writ before I even think of dicking around with it.
