[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7423531, member: 97077"] The way it usually plays out in my game is that the players claim Inspiration, then immediately spend it. That tends to be with the personal characteristics that are easy to portray. They set themselves up for some kind of awesome attack or what they imagine might be a risky maneuver that will call for an ability check, do the portrayal, claim the Inspiration, then spend it right away when I call for attack rolls or ability checks. This makes it a bit easier to not forget about it. They bank it as well from time to time. That's often when there's just a perfect opportunity for the characteristic to be portrayed in the given situation that might not come up again later in the game. So they portray, claim, and bank. That gets recorded with a little pip on the character sheet. It could be overlooked or forgotten about, but I think they've gotten so used to having Inspiration as a resource, it's gotten to be like hit points or spell slots - important enough to keep in the front of one's mind.
