Investigator Inspiration Pool size?


Rules Questions


On the d20 investigator page, it states: "The investigator has an inspiration pool equal to 1/2 his investigator level + his Intelligence modifier (minimum 1)." does this upgrade as you level up? If it does, do headbands of intelligence increase the pool due to the increased int Mod?


Yes, and yes.


just pointing out (since the op had hard time reading the rules he quoted) it only increase with higher Investigator class levels. if you level up in a different class (that doesn't use this pool. some class's pools do stack) the pool size will NOT increase!

Eh, it's a new account likely a new player needing to learn the limits of literal rules terminology. The better question is why they went straight to a rules forum instead of asking another player in whatever group/game they would make an investigator for.

I had no hard time reading the rules, I was verifying that I interpreted it right because of the two possible meanings. Also, I am playing an investigator but thanks for clearing that up anyway.

Ok, I have to ask here: What other meaning/interpretation is there? I don't see one.


to be fair first time one of my player read this repeating formula she asked if it was '(1/2 level) + ability bonus' or '1/2(level + ability bonus)'.

i had to explain that the 2nd 'his' meant the '1/2' was only for the 1st part. (his A + his B)

then again, English is not the main language in my country.
