@millieodegard: While rolling with advantage is well and good, it can get a little repetitive, so here's 5 alternative benefits that my dnd players can spend their inspiration on. I can't remember if I came up with all of these, or if I got some from somewhere else, but I highly recommend trying them out! #ttrpg #dnd #dnd5e #dungeonmaster #gamemaster
and then there's the secret sixth option:

With the sheer number of ways to gain inspiration this could quickly head out of control on some tables I play, though I like the ideas 😅

Are you saying for #3 that players can’t spend inspiration on removing a failed death saving throw to a character who has already had that spent on them?

I hate to be that guy, but this is just reinventing the wheel because at least half of this is just pf2e’s hero point system

love this.
I go for standard usage but everyone starts the new session with one heroic inspiration each. It's fun watching them implement a resource at their own leisure, but comfortable they don't need to hoard it.
I hand out additional inspo for good rp, inventive solutions and rule of cool combat moments too.

my dog makes an ungodly sound after he drinks water, so I tell my players that when he does it at a particularly well timed moment they get inspo.😆

My table has inspiration as normal just adv, but I have the rule that that is given by other players so at the end of each session they can nominate someone (seeing one persons reaction to the entire table clapping for them after a recap), then me as a DM can give my inspiration during the sessions which are basically bardics ranging from d8 to d20 depending on the situation

I built a whole thing for each class and race to use inspiration like a meta currency similar to FATE or Cypher. they all have a nice little menu and can hold up to 3 now, because some, like recharging a once per day ability, are more expensive

can you give examples for #4? I'm very interested in incorporating this and I love the variety and options.🥰 also your accent is so soothing, I would play at your table any day.😁

This reminds me of how hero points work in mutants and masterminds!! I prefer this system big time

My parties use something we call cardic inspiration where we use a deck of cards to randomly get inspiration. Ace is a nat 20, joker is a nat 1, number cards are a + whatever number, face cards are +10s

I like the plot point use of inspiration ginny dy presented in one of her videos. a player can use it to change part of the plot (to gm discretion) or link himself with a character. like knowing the local blacksmith

This is why I don't like house rules, design is not easy

Jayfe :
can they be applied retroactively? for example if I roll a 4 on initiative could I then use it or would I have to announce beforehand?
