So I imagined that character who would walk around with a barrel of hot coffee he brews somehow and hands out cups of that coffee to other people to provide effects simillar to Bardic Inspiration. First I wanted to homebrew varian of a Bard Class, say "Barista" class, but turns out that is not an option. So instead I made the Barrel itself a magic item.
Here is what I got:
Wondrous Item, artifact (requires attunement by a Bard)
When you gain Bardic Inspiration charges, you instantly spend those charges, equivalent voulme of Inspiring Coffee pours in to the Barrel.
Coffee in the Barrel stays Hot indefinitely.
You can pour a cup of the Inspiring Coffee from this Barrel at any moment, as long as you have a free hand to operate the valve on the Barrel.
Whenever effect, other than effects of the Barrel of Inspiring Coffee, require you to spend a charge of Bardic Inspiration, do the following instead:
- If effect then instructs you to give away your Bardic Inspiration Dice, give that player a Cup of the Inspiring Coffee as well;
- Othewise, consume Cup of the Inspiring Coffee.

Is there anything wrong with this item description mechanic wise, or maybe I can simplify it somehow/make it nicer/cleaner?
