An aspiration is a quick prayer on the order of: “Give me strength!” or “Don’t let me goof up!” The player rolls a d20 out of the player’s own sight for the DM, who records it. At any time during the next game hour, the player can ask to have a bad die roll replaced by the hidden roll. The d20 can replace an attack roll, a saving throw, or a percentile dice roll (multiplying the secret roll by 5). Upon the player’s request, the secret roll is revealed, and becomes the official dice roll. There is no guaran­tee that the secret roll will be better, but it is a second chance.
