I want to offer you a dropin replacement
0:02
for inspiration in dndd sorry heroic
0:06
inspiration now in the 2024 rules so one
0:09
of the kind of classic problems that
0:12
folks have in D and is the dungeon
0:14
master remembering to award inspiration
0:17
in the 2024 rules there are a few ways
0:19
that players can generate it
0:21
automatically the musician feat playing
0:24
human Etc so you're guaranteed to have
0:27
some access to it regardless of what
0:29
your DM does
0:30
but I want to offer an alternative that
0:33
might be more fun for you at the table
0:34
and I'm stealing this directly from the
0:37
Fantasy Flight Star Wars RPGs so in
0:41
Fantasy Flight Star Wars games there's a
0:43
metac currency called Force points that
0:45
are represented by these handy little
0:47
tokens here now the tokens can be in
0:51
light side or dark side and the way that
0:54
this works is if they're on the light
0:56
side they are available to the players
0:58
if they're on the dark side they're
1:00
available to the dungeon master when a
1:02
player uses one of these Force points
1:05
they flip conversely when the DM uses
1:08
them they flip back this means that
1:11
there's a constant back and forth of
1:13
this metac currency which makes sure
1:15
that they're available to both sides of
1:17
the table now you do need to worry about
1:20
things like accidentally hoarding them
1:22
forgetting that they're on the table and
1:24
that's fine that'll just take some
1:26
practice and some agreement between the
1:27
players and the dungeon master but you
1:30
could drop Force points well call them
1:32
whatever you like you could drop these
1:34
Force points into your game as a
1:36
replacement for Heroic inspiration maybe
1:39
have one token for each player and then
1:43
a player uses their heroic inspiration
1:45
the DM then has it available to use for
1:48
monsters for traps Etc and then when
1:52
they use it it passes back to the
1:54
players and the players now have the
1:56
resource again and that creates this
1:58
very very exciting back back and forth
2:00
of the metac currency so it is available
2:03
more frequently affects the game more
2:06
frequently and at the same time presents
2:09
an interesting cost to the players
2:11
because maybe you use your heroic
2:13
inspiration to get advantage or to roll
2:16
an important saving throw but you know
2:20
once you use it the big bat on the other
2:22
side of the table then has inspiration
2:24
for the big spell that you're going to
2:26
hit them with next turn and you have to
2:28
weigh that decision every time you use
2:30
heroic inspiration
