Every player could always use extra help to get through the tough battles in Baldur's Gate 3, especially regarding the bosses in the final act. Gaining Inspiration is one way to give your character a second chance if an Ability roll goes badly, and there are several of them you can get depending on the Background you've chosen.
Baldur's Gate 3: How To Solve The Open Hand Temple Murders
Father Lorgan has been murdered! Was the killer really the refugee that he was protecting?
Backgrounds in Baldur's Gate 3 include examples like Criminal, which gives points for shady dealings like organized crime, or Sage, a common choice for studious classes like Clerics and Wizards. Outlander is a Background usually shared by Rangers, Druids, and other classes that appreciate the Great Outdoors, but anyone can choose this Background in the character creation process.
Only a character with the Outlander Background can get this Inspiration, but if Tav doesn't have it, two Companions do. Karlach and Halsin are both Outlanders and as long as they're at the party, you'll get an Inspiration point from each of them.
Find Sword Coast Couriers
Across From The Temple In Downtown Rivington
It's optional to visit this unassuming building in Rivington, and many players finish the game without ever discovering it. Starting from the town's Waypoint, take a left and walk past the Circus. Sword Coast Couriers has a sign with a letter and a pigeon hanging outside, directly across from the Temple of the Open Hand.

Meet Luietenant Lightfeather
The Leader Of The Squadron
There are also animals in the service of Sword Coast Couriers. The dogs can be found outside, and the pigeons are upstairs. It's not essential to speak to them to finish the "Find The Missing Letters" quest, but it can provide a clue.
The courier pigeons have arranged themselves into an organized group reminiscent of a World War 2 bomber squadron. You'll recognize the Lieutenant by his dapper British accent.
- Speak To The Pigeons. There are a few here, and they'll direct you to their commanding officer. They'll also caution you about the roof to the west, a no-flight zone from which no messenger pigeon returns.
- Speak To Luietenant Lightfeather. The Lieutenant will give your character a full briefing on the saga of the missing letters and offer to enlist you in his squadron as part of their team. Should you accept, you'll be rewarded with Avian Inspiration.
The protagonist can only have a maximum of four Inspiration points. If you already have four when you visit the courier, getting the Avian Inspiration will count as experience points instead.
