Bardic Inspiration Automation - possible? (DnD 5.5e)

Hello dear reader

A Bard Character can inspire his allies by poetry and music. The inspired ally gains a "Bardic Inspiration Die" that can be used for any d20-Test to help succeed in that test.
I as the GM haven't had the pleasure to experience that mechanic in game so far, but soon I have an adventure with a Bard and then I can see it in action :)

Alouth i don't think this is a very difficult mechanic to handle "manually", i had the Idea to have it automated.

In this newly created extension, it should check weather a d20-Test faild or not. If it was failed, it could check if the Effect "Bardic Inspiration" is on the character. If yes - a promt could show up and ask, if the bardic inspiration die should be used. In order to get the correct die it should check the bard level of the effect source.

When using it, it rolles the corresponding die and gives the new result and the Effect then is deleted on the character that used the Bardic Inspiration die.

Alouth i dabbled in programming during my uni time, i'm at most at beginner level. so the first question is: Is this even possible using the different .lua scripts?

If this inspired someone to automate the Bardic Inspiration - please contact me. Perhaps we can do it together and learn ;)

Have a wounderful day!
cheers

Yes, it's possible and there's at least one extension which handles this here https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/273/view

I think there's actually a couple more, probably much simpler extensions, but I can't find them at present. Maybe someone else knows what the names of those extensions are.

Thanks Zacchaeus

I was looking though the forge, but haven't found this extension :) Thanks for sharing it with me.

i will digg deeper then ;)
