Explain "Inspiration Cards"
To balance blind rolls, each player is given an “inspiration card” at
the beginning of every session. This is a randomly chosen card from a standard card
deck. You do not know the value of each card until it is used, which like inspiration, may
be used at any point. The value of the card is added to your roll result (IE. 2= +2, 5= +5).
Face cards grant advantage, Jokers grant a natural 20.
