[QUOTE="Arilyn, post: 7345918, member: 6816042"] A few things: 5e already has inspiration. Players get it by roleplaying flaws, which cause trouble for them. Blue is just expanding the idea. You can only have one inspiration banked, so not that big a deal. Things like FATE points and inspiration help simulate narrative flow. I've played a lot of FATE, and the constant haggling for points does not happen, ever. It's much more subtle. Players are not going to deliberately do things to gain inspiration. When it does occur, it helps simulate the hero having a bit of good luck after getting kicked on. I have never seen these types of mechanics get abused. Yes, you should just be having fun role playing your character, but getting a little goodie after you totally failed to climb that wall is nice. Now maybe you can manage to sweet talk yourself out of trouble, with a little boost from your recently gained inspiration. [/QUOTE]
