It does require a bit more creative juice on the DM's part in order to adapt to whatever the players are throwing at him/her.I've always find the getting advantage way of spending inspiration a bit underwhelming, even though its a big bonus mathematically, and the feeling is shared by my players.  I came across a thread awhile back suggesting using the old Fortune cards as inspiration rewards, and using that idea, I made a list of 15 cards that is a bit more powerful than Fortune cards, but not too powerful such that my players would want to horde them for bosses, as my way of giving out inspiration.An example of a few.Relentless Assault - Your next hit will be an automatic critical strike. In addition, you may re-roll any and all 1 or 2 from the damage roll, but must take the result of the new roll.Keen Sense - You know the layout of your surrounding in a 50-foot radius, as well as the location of every door, trap, creatures, and any other object of interest within range.Frantic Search - You may request a magic item, by specifying the name of the item, of Very Rare quality or higher, from the DM. In response, the DM will provide you with a starting location that will at least start you on a journey towards the specified item. If such item currently does not exist in D&D, the DM will design it for you. However, the adventure will be scaled to the item's rarity, not the party's level. (My players love this one, since this allows them the possibility to obtain items they've come across in other games/stories, like the kakari in the Night Angel trilogy, or that stupid long, borderline un-wieldable, japanese odachi blade used by a certain someone in a RPG on PS1).Sorry for not providing the full list, but I used the name and art of 15 different MTG cards when making those inspiration cards, and don't want WotC to get mad at me.</blockquote>
