Bardic Inspiration is a term familiar to those who play Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) or Baldur's Gate 3 , but what's it doing in Dead by Daylight? The horror game has a DnD-themed month through June, and with it comes a new survivor carrying the Bardic Inspiration Perk.

The new Survivor in the DnD chapter is Aestri Yazar, a bard with three perks: Mirrored Illusion, Bardic Inspiration, and Still Sight. Bardic Inspiration is used near other survivors to speed up repair progress. If you’re unlucky, it can warn the Killer.
In DnD, all actions are determined by a dice roll, usually a 20-sided die called a D20. The number you get determines the consequence of that action. The Dungeon Master will ask for a Skill Check, meaning you'll need to roll a D20 to know if you succeeded. Interestingly, Bardic Inspiration requires a D8 in DnD, but the developer of Dead by Daylight preferred to keep the famous D20 for this Perk.
Whether you succeed or fail in the action depends on the number you get from the D20. The higher the number you have to get, the harder the action is. So if you only need to get a five, that action is very easy, but if you need a 20, it is more challenging.
