Optional Inspiration Use

Note: Players are encouraged to suggest when an inspiration should be awarded. Sometimes the DM has lots of mechanics and other stuff on their mind.

If you have an inspiration available, you should first narrate what causes the inspiration to happen and then choose one of the options below rather than just saying "I'm going to use my inspiration."

Options:

  • Advantage on a Roll
  • Add a die to your roll based on your game tier (Tier 1 = D6, Level 5 = D8, Level 11 = D10, Level 17 = D12)
  • Subtract a die from dmg done to you based on tier.
  • You can choose to gain a +5 bonus to your Initiative.
  • You can reroll all damage dice AFTER you roll for damage.
  • You can add an additional damage die BEFORE you roll for damage.
  • You can regain an expended resource
    • A spell slot of a level that’s equal to or lower than your Prof. Bonus.
    • A number of Ki or Sorcery Points up to your Prof. Bonus.
    • A Use of your Rage or Wild Shape
    • A use of Action Surge or Channel Divinity
  • I know someone: PC says that they know someone who can help with a current issue the party is having. They make a Charisma Check to see the NPC’s disposition towards them and how this NPC exists in the world.
