Each PC describes before the heist starts what general approach they want to take, and what “role” they want to fill. Then each PC gets 1 Inspiration. They can spend Inspiration to narrate or ask me (and other players) to help them narrate, a scene in which they; <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Planned for this</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Made this part of The Plan (ie, the reversal. It looks like they are gonna get caught, but the security guard actually passes them a package that contains an item they need to complete the next step, having been paid off beforehand. This was the plan “all along”)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Planned for to use this complication to make room for someone else</li> </ul>Etc. They can gain Inspiration by failing a roll, surprising me or the other players, or taking a big swing. My favorite example from the heist we did was, the Kobold Wizard and the Firbolg Bard deposited a fake of the prize in the same bank as the actual prize. A complication arose from failed rolls involving the character who was supposed to physically break in to the bank. The Kobold Wizard then initiated a scene in which the Bard went to the bank to check on his package and deposit another package, being super fussy and terrible about it, a real “Karen”. During that scene, the Kobold was hidden in the Firbolgs bag, and the Firbolg left him in the vault.Then the player was kinda stuck on how to proceed, and another player suggested that setting off the alarm was somehow necessary, and the Kobold had to be inside the vault when it happened to hack the arcane security system, so I called for some arcana and investigation checks, and the little Wizard waited for the security system to reset, interrupted the startup with a pre-programmed code drsgonahard that hid a security hack relating to the item recognition spell built into the system as it rebooted, and then waited to be picked up by Firbolg Bard in the morning, along with the prize, which he had swapped with the fake while in the vault. The hack worked, and the security spells read the prize as the object that our guys had placed in the vault.</blockquote>
