OPTIONAL - DMG Hero Points

OPTIONAL DMG Hero Points System (modified for milestone leveling)

Currently not in use

Hero Points replace the inspiration rules. Unused inspiration granted for character backgrounds gets converted to earned hero points (they do not go away until spent)

At the start of each session, each player gets a temporary hero point (goes away at the end of a session).

A player can spend a hero point whenever he or she makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw. The player can spend the hero point after the roll is made but before any of its results are applied. Spending the hero point allows the player to roll a d6 and add it to the d20, possibly turning a failure into a success. A player can spend only 1 hero point per roll.

In addition, whenever a character fails a death saving throw, the player can spend one hero point to turn the failure into a success.
