This is super helpful from a miss to a hit situation in regards to attacks!
My question is if there's a similar trick you can do with the Chat window that works for Saves? If for example someone casts Charm Person on you and you fail the WIS Save, is there a way to add a d6 roll after the fact? Or would you just roll it and do mental math to compare the result to the DC stated in the Chat window? I didn't know if missed or failed Saves were more like attacks or skill/ability checks...
BI with Saves.png
It utilizes the same process of moving the d6 result into the modifier box and combining it with the previous result but because it is being judged a second time against a DC instead of something like an AC I don't know how to make it say... "SUCCESS". Suggestions?
-----------------------------------------
For tracking Bardic Inspiration I used something similar to what everyone else suggested but instead had an effect applied by the Bard and had a power on all the other players under a Power Group I called Consumables that checked for that effect since it is the other inspired player and not the Bard that decides when they want to use the inspiration.
Bard side was easy... Make an EFFECT, give it a 10 MIN timer and apply it to TARGETS and set to NEVER expend.
I used Rino's REMOVE Effect Tag ext for when players want to use their BI (which I named that effect that is counting for 10 min as "Inspired (1/PC)"). There are two forms that I use - one for before knowing the result and the more common option that you described above of using it after the fact.
Inspired Attempt; IF: CUSTOM(Inspired (1/PC)); ATK: 1d6; CHECK: 1d6; SAVE: 1d6; REMOVE: Inspired (1/PC); [ROLL]; [SELF]
Inspired Failure; REMOVE: Inspired (1/PC); Drag a regular 1d6 into the chat window and drag result onto modifier box below and drag previous attack result onto target to update result; [ROLL]; [SELF]Last edited by Shireling; March 18th, 2020 at 19:56.

It doesn't work for saves, only attack and damage rolls.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

Natively FG doesn't prompt players to use Bardic Inspiration. There may be an extension that prompts the characters but I believe that it also prompts for all sorts of other rolls as well, so may not be suitable for just BI. Check out the Forge; I think it is called requested rolls or similar.
