[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8357793, member: 6779196"] It’s clearly open for players to claim Inspiration for any reason, even if other players and/or the DM don’t agree that the triggering action was consistent with the characteristic in question. What’s the abuse though? The most a player can get out of it is advantage on up to 5 rolls per session. Certainly not a game-breaking benefit. That the players don’t need the DM’s or other players’ approval to do so is by design. That would most definitely be a minefield for arguments. Whether it’s better depends on your goals. If your goal is to enforce the table’s idea of how each character should be portrayed, even if that means spending table time debating over what someone else’s character “would” or “wouldn’t” do, then sure, it’s better. For me, such RP-policing is something I want to avoid at all costs. Allowing players to give themselves advantage on a few rolls per session is [I]well[/I] worth eliminating that factor to me.
