Inspiration Points
- Stackable, shareable points (IP) that allow rerolls of d20 test1
- Use after rolling before knowing the outcome
- Lasts only until the end of session, can be converted to gold
How to obtain
- do the recap of last session
- inspired, thought out answer to role play question
- doing epic/funny stuff, helping allies
- role playing character in a way that's true to their personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws
- doing something DM deems worthy, like remembering story points
- get IP from an ally - players can share IP
[!tip] Players can NOMINATE OTHERS for inspiration, if they liked something the player did (helpful if DM forgets to give out IP)
How to spend
After rolling for ability check/attack roll/saving throw but before knowing the outcome, you can spend:
- 1 IP
- you reroll d20 test*, new roll is used (NAT 1 cannot be rerolled)
- 5 IP
- you automatically get natural 20 on d20 test
- OR you make the DM reroll a d20 test
Converting inspiration
Inspiration points last only one session, and are not transferable to following sessions. At the end of a session, if you have any unused inspiration left, you can convert it to gold in two ways:
- get 25 gp for each IP
- flip a coin
- heads = 50 gp for each IP
- tails = nothing
