[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7326497, member: 97077"] I recommend you give the players the right to "claim" Inspiration. This makes it easier on you and more reliable to them. In my games, if a player plays to an established personality trait, ideal, bond, flaw, he or she says "I'm taking Inspiration for that." The limitation is that you can't claim Inspiration for a given personal characteristic more than once per session (so in this case, 4x per session is the max). With this method, the players can seek out Inspiration whenever they need it and it makes sense and means the DM doesn't have to track 16 to 20 different personal characteristics on top of everything else he or she is doing. What you will tend to see in my experience is players almost constantly claiming Inspiration by playing to the established characteristics (5 players times 4 Inspiration is 20 divided into a, say, 240 minute session is someone playing their character as established at least every 12 minutes or so) which, if you like that sort of thing, is a pretty good outcome.
