Isn't this always a risk with a buff?  That whoever is buffed is essentially lucky enough in their roll not to need it... or rolls so low it doesn't help? How is this complaint specific to inspiration?   What does a lost turn have to do with it?  A trap sprung while out of combat could stun an ally, of course out of combat you usually have less rolls over a longer period of time so it's more likely the inspiration could wear off before you get to use it..  I'm really not grasping the logic you are using here to make this assertion...</blockquote>
