[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 6611927, member: 5100"] For the most part, this. I hated the 3E per-level management. In my current Eberron game, I've got one player trying it out (gave as a feat). The two mechanics are similar enough that they get lost in each other. I'm looking for a way to blend them. Right now, I've got action/hero points modified so that the player has the option to either roll 1d4 (basically a Bless) after the d20 roll or gain Inspiration, which can be used immediately. They also reset after a long rest. It seems about right, so far. My house rules are [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpgdownloads.php?do=download&downloadid=1147"]here[/URL]. FWIW, the d4 instead of d6 is because 1) they reset daily, 2) it's on par with Bless, and 3) I wanted to encourage the "gain inspiration" feature. For Inspiration, I also picked up some distinctive d20s. They're all handed out, right now, so I can't give you any pictures. The FLGS had a bin of ugly dice from which I grabbed a bunch of half-neon and half-pastel dice. They really stand out, so no one forgets when they have Inspiration. They are, however, required to roll the actual Inspiration die for their Inspiration. I've found that inspiration dice > inspiration chips > ticky mark on paper. [/QUOTE]
