I guess the earning of Inspiration points is tempered by the number of sessions needed (milestone equivalent).Yeah, I see your dilemma.I haven't purchased Tomb of Annihilation just yet so I cannot comment insightfully on progression within that storyline but I will say that I'd imagine my current campaign which is a ToD/SKT mashup allows for much more freedom for characters to play into the BIFG which doesn't help you.However - you can use your pre-existing pacing metric of 8-10 encounters which is a milestone mechanic essentially and tack on x required Inspiration uses. Obviously not too many if it is difficult to leverage their BIFG within the Tomb.I hope I've made some sense in all that rambling.</blockquote>
