I realize now that Inspiration fills the same niche that Action Points did in 3.5. I would suggest that DMs looking to capture that same cinematic spirit should simply seek to hand out Inspiration more often than they normally would in a typical 5e game. I wouldn't be surprised to see 5e Eberron to include rules for increasing the impact Inspiration has in game.I've also been thinking about how I'd like to see psionics incorporated into 5e. Rather than just being slightly weirder Vancian casters, with Sorcerers and Sorcery Points as the model, I'd actually prefer to see them modeled more closely to Monks, particularly the Way of the Four Elements. Every psionic character I've used so far has been a reskinned Monk. Four Elements makes for a great Kineticist; Mind Blades work well as reflavored unarmed strikes; even the Way of Shadows stealth features can be reskinned for psionic spies (i.e. I don't just suddenly hide real well, I telepathically erase my presence from your mind). The core Monk doesn't cover every psionic archetype, obviously, but it covers a surprisingly large number of them if you squint hard enough (and maybe throw in a slightly reskinned Magic Initiate and/or Ritual Caster feats). To that end I've given Kalasthar bonus Ki, as a replacement for their usual bonus Power Points.As for the chance in permanent magic item rarity, I've incorporated that into the current story arc; a massive Dragonshard shortage across Khorvaire had caused the three House Cannith factions to stockpile their now limited resources, shut down their forges and shutter most of their stores. This has, needless to say, had serious ramifications for the world at large, most notably a boom in the prospecting market in Xen'drik. Been a blast seeing where that storyline is going to take the party.</blockquote>
