[QUOTE="delericho, post: 8753723, member: 22424"] I think this is impossible to tell without seeing the rest of the system. Given how useless the original Inspiration mechanic was, any attempt to make it more useful is worth at least trying. Not sure this is [I]the[/I] fix, but I wouldn't say it's bad for the game. As others have noted, if something is outright impossible you shouldn't be rolling anyway. And if something is possible, a Nat 20 will almost always mean success [I]anyway[/I]. So this should be a very minor change in practice. I'm inclined to wait and see on this one. Heh. I'd [I]just[/I] got to a place where my half-elves and half-orcs were in a state I was happy with. Assuming they go forward with them being removed from the PHB, I think I'll take that opportunity to wipe them out of existence in-setting as well. Agreed. Adding feats to backgrounds was an awful decision, but it now looks like manifest genius compared to the decision to add ASIs there as well. IMO the only mitigating factor on this one is that they've made full customisation the default, meaning it's just a matter of a dozen wasted pages rather than anything serious. [/QUOTE]
