Do folks ever allow the Musician Origin Feat to grant Inspiration to the one using it as well?
"you can play a song on a Musical Instrument with which you have proficiency and give Heroic Inspiration to allies who hear the song."
RAW, "allies" seems to not include oneself, but do tables tend to allow this? Say, once you have Proficiency Bonus high enough to get all your allies and then you?
Well, the definition of "Ally" in the Player's Handbook says (in part) that a creature is your ally "if it is a member of your adventuring party". That seems like it should include yourself, in much the same way as spells that say something like "a creature you can see within range" are generally considered to allow targeting yourself.
I'm not sure that's intended in the specific context of the Musician feat, but it's not something I'd ever make a fuss about in practice, especially given all the other various ways there are to get Heroic Inspiration these days.
