It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Taryon Darrington, a human artificer . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Grog then takes the first bead of divinity -- the one from Ioun-- smashes it on the Anvil, and folds the powdered remains into the first ingot. With aid from Keyleth and Scanlan in the form of spells and inspiration, he does the same with the bead from Pelor, but has trouble with the one from the Raven Queen.
DM: Well, let me double check on that for your bardic ability. And how many more bardic inspirations do you have at this point, by the way?
Player: I've only used two.
DM: You used Cutting Words, you've inspired Keyleth, and you've inspired Grog.
Player: Oh, Cutting Words counts? Then I've used four so far, and I have two more to go.
DM: Two more to go. And as far as your peerless skill, you can add it to any ability check, yeah, so not a save, unfortunately.
Player: All right, bye guys.
DM: What was the total?
