    This is heretical. Obviously, you have to save all your consumables for some hypothetical future encounter, as is tradition!

        Just the gamers. Real live tabletop players often forget about half of their inventory and rely on “what works” to get them out of trouble, when it doesn’t, they do crazy shit like spill oil and then throw a candle at it to set the entire tavern on fire.

          Thirty sessions later: “hey, I have five gallons of universal solvent on my character sheet for some reason? I think we stole it from that factory we melted? I want to fill the lich’s scrying pool with it.”

        I am resourceful in live D&D as well, however I find it far easier to use consumables to save allies when they’re played by my friends (applies to videogames too. However in videogames you can mostly reload.

      Here here, I join you in this endless quest to conserve. Just like my great grandmother freezing half her gallons of milk, just in case the Great Depression were to return.

        Hmm…

        You know, this take on how potions works tracks really well with the vanilla potion skins on Diablo 2… I had never really considered that the potions don’t get -stronger-, you just consume a larger volume of them…

    2 playthroughs and I’ve never used any of those except speak with animals - My avatar would be chugging 4 cans of ‘Potion of Speed’ though lol
