Please increase Inspiration Points

[Adam__86]

I know there's a mod but since mods can break the game I would love if the Inspiration Points capped at 8 perhaps even 12 instead of 4. Its a tad annoying getting said points but knowing its capped and thus wasted

[Agony_Aunt]

Heh, never noticed they were capped. I tend to burn them on silly skill checks just to ensure i get to see what happens when i succeed.

Still, it being a Larian game, i really shouldn't, because often the fail states also lead to interesting things.

There is a mod that removes the cap...

Unlikely to be something that will ever change. Could try mod though.

Technically it's meant to be 1 point per character, that can be shared with the party.

They're pretty common, not really something you need to hoard. Also as Agony_Aunt said, different outcomes, not blocks.

They are refreshed on short rest at level 5 when you get your 4th point, and you get a 5th at level 10. There's an item that gives you an extra point when worn. that makes 18 uses between long rests, that's a lot of points to play with. Even just stopping at level 5 gets you 12-15 per long rest.

Yeah. It is mean to be one / character. Just use them!

[Hobocop]

I don't mind it because it encourages players to get stuck in and attempt rolls they wouldn't otherwise. Plus, a good many events that grant Inspiration require a check to begin with.

Use 'em or lose 'em.

Obsolete argument, they can only break the game if you don't install them properly. I'm running 44 mods as I'm on my second playthrough, my game runs as normal. Mods that change inspiration cap are perfectly safe to use.

This is factually wrong. The hard cap is 4 PER CHARACTER and do not reset on any type of rest. You simply cannot use points from one character if a different one is trying to succeed a check. Stop spreading lies.

Regardless I would rather it be a default system

I can only use them if I fail a roll which is rare

Wow, a BARD yes, a class rarely used because you have to either MC the bard or hire Brinna Brightsong the hireling.

[Darkaiser]

I would support tying them to the Proficiency Bonus in some way. Like 2+PB or something. With our limit at 12 that means we could have 6 at max. Considering that the RNG is a living thing and often hates us, I wouldn't see this as game-breaking.

[Scheneighnay]

I like the cap, it encourages you to actually use it instead of saving it for only the hardest checks.

Oh dear lord, my bad, I got the bardic inspiration confused with the other Inspiration that you get while exploring. That's on me :D
