Inspirations

Overview

Inspirations are single-use temporary boosts. There are several different enhancement types that provide various ability increases.

Inspiration Slots

A character starts with three inspiration slots at level one, and gradually increases to a maximum of 20 inspiration slots at level 40. The progression is below:

• Level 1: 3 slots (1 row of 3 columns)
• Level 2: 4 slots (1 row of 4 columns)
• Level 3: 8 slots (2 rows of 4 columns)
• Level 10: 10 slots (2 rows of 5 columns)
• Level 25: 15 slots (3 rows of 5 columns)
• Level 40: 20 slots (4 rows of 5 columns)

By default, the F1 through F5 keys on the keyboard are mapped to trigger the bottom inspirations in columns one through five, respectively. It is common to keep similar inspiration types within the same column so that a needed inspiration of a specific type may be used quickly without adjusting the position of the mouse pointer.

For example, a player may always place healing inspirations (Respite, Dramatic Improvement, and Resurgence) into the first row. In an intense battle, the player can then simply press F1 on his or her keyboard to use a healing inspiration instead of moving the mouse pointer away from the battle to the inspiration tray. If a player has more than one healing inspiration in the first row, he or she can quickly press F1 again to use another inspiration if needed.
