    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.

        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.
