Sory if you answered this and i missed it ...
But if you want to ... and you can ... why you dont?

I've avoided participating in this thread since I know the end result would be that I'd just get into semantics fights that will derail the thread, but I have to point out here, didn't The Composer just close the thread and then re-open it while warning everyone against replying to people in this kind of nitpicky way?
I think I should rule lawyer a bit in regards to that Cutting Words/Inspiration bit though before I slink back into the swamps. Most interpretations of that suggests that you’re allowed to know what the roll is before you can choose to use your reaction, you just might not yet know if that rolled number hits or misses depending on the situation (like, say, when you’re attacking an unknown enemy and the party hasn’t worked out what their exact AC is yet).
Though a video game such as this will likely take liberties with such things towards player convenience anyway.
