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
