Message: <blockquote data-quote="Distracted DM" data-source="post: 9662951" data-attributes="member: 6894926">I'll agree that choosing to use inspiration as a reroll, rather than rolling with advantage, is an incredibly popular house rule.. basically universal across 5e tables. I think it's more of a rules-ignorance thing for many tables, rather than an intentional house rule... I know that's how our table started doing it, because that's how we thought it was done. When I discovered that you were supposed to use it as advantage rather than a reroll.. we didn't change how we were doing it.Honestly I thought parry from a weapon like short sword was done after the attack was made, not before :'DThe one thing that I often have to correct my players on is the A5E human Intrepid feature. For whatever reason that stuck in my mind as "have to declare it beforehand," where the others failed to do so.edit: it looks like Parrying (below) is supposed to be done after the attack's been rolled, at least according to previous EN clarifications on how "an attack made against you by a creature" is intended to work. So at least I've got that right :'D[SPOILER]Parrying†. When you are wielding this weapon and you are not using a shield, once before your next turn you can gain an expertise die to your AC against a single melee attack made against you by a creature you can see. You cannot use this property while incapacitated , paralyzed , rattled , restrained , or stunned .[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
