What I've been doing is handing out "bennies." (Gaming beads.) Whenever a 
player does something cool, I give him a bennie. It can be used to instantly 
get back 1d6 hit points, reroll any die roll, or turn in for 100XP x level 
(for now--low level). That's it.

And just 'cause I know you're going to ask. Yes, we're playing D&D because I 
have the Sea Devil trilogy that's been burning a hole in my game shelf for 
years (I'm a sucker for anything underwater or on Ice). Do I love the new 
system? Honestly, no. I think it's a throwback. But playing D&D again for a 
while is fun, regardless of how frustrated my group gets with the rules.
