Here are the list of things you can do with a "point" to create a bonus action? Or is this stuff meant to be "Hey DM I want to run down the dinosaurs back and do a backflip to the cliff above him? I dont have enough movement to make it but can I get extra for the slide and flip, also I am about to die, so I want to make sure I dont fail this, can I?" If you want to give all players a bonus action to do crazy stuff (stunts) during combat I wouldnt use the inspiration system, which is meant for out of combat.To be honest, this stuff sounds like a feat (or class feature) that grants a bonus action to do one of these things (or several of them that are similar) or give you a benefit during an attack or move. If you want to add a resource mechanic to keep track of (and use as rewards) like inspiration to do specific combat stunts (like bulls rush, charge, trip, disarm, etc) then I would first wait for the DMG (cause they probably have a lot of this in that) or make them a Feat, or create something else to go with Inspiration & Action Points. One is used out of combat and the other in. But, I dont think the game needs that. I think the Checks and Saves system covers most of the player coming up with cool ideas and the feat system covers the specifics.Still its a cool idea and the reason why I don't feel it's needed is to keep the systems light and not add more complexity to a light fast system.</blockquote>
