I think this really fixes the inspiration mechanic in a very concrete way that would be a lot more usable to me as a DM than the current rules. I feel like a couple of standard concepts that could be added are:Fame (Gain a reputation far and wide)Stewardship (Protect the natural world, the beasts and plants from monsters, corrupting magics, and civilization)Proselytize (Spread a monastic philosophy of self-denial, or the worship of a good God, or convince a nation of the evils of Tyrannical monarchy)Promotion (Become the head of the Wizard college, the Leader of Her Majesty's spies, a Factol of The Society of Sensation in Sigil)Redemption (you began your adventure after a terrible sin, you seek a way to prove yourself worthy of forgiveness from the love of your life, your family, your God, or just yourself)However, it seems like there is something in here about a change in how Alignment is handled that isn't clearly stated. They also only cover Law and Chaos, while Devotion seems like it should have Good, and Revenge and/or Wealth seems like a possible match for Evil. For people really into storytelling what about this (change in bold):Fulfilling Your Destiny Each destiny includes a fulfillment feature that you gain when you achieve your destiny, a momentous event usually at the end of a major story arc in the narrative (indicated by the GM). Even if your destiny remains outside of your grasp however, it is close enough at hand that you automatically gain its fulfillment feature when you reach 16th level. If you fulfill your destiny earlier in a campaign, at the GM’s discretion you may select an additional destiny. You retain your original destiny’s features and gain the source of inspiration and inspiration feature of your new destiny. You cannot gain a second fulfillment feature but can change your alignment.Revenge gets Evil, Wealth has a mechanic where you have a 50% chance of gaining an Evil alignment. If you don't care, you don't care, but if you want to tell the story of redemption, you take the Devotion, or maybe the Redemption destiny I suggested above</blockquote>
