[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7496278, member: 1465"] [B]Bardic Inspiration[/B] has a limited number of uses per day IIRC, so I don't think it's technically possible to "spam" it. [B]Help[/B] use with skills is explicitly subject to DM's adjudication, and I think it should always be presented as "when the DM allows it" rather than "unless the DM disallows it". The DM absolutely should not allow it by default just because the player asks for it... instead, just tune your own adjudication of the "Working Together" rules to your preferred rate of Help usage in the game. [B]Ability checks[/B] are also always granted by the DM, and not a player's entitlement. That's a key rule of 5e, so the DM should learn to say 'no' if ability checks are ruining the fun and the style of the game. Once again, tune the adjudication to some narrative, so that the DM's decision are more easily accepted. [B]Guidance[/B] unfortunately cannot be fixed. [/QUOTE]
