“Better save these elixirs for the last boss.” Proceeds to beat the game without using them
There really should be an achievement for this.
Also fuck games that make you consume a potion so you know that’s how potions work.
That NPC handed me a potion and it’s my prerogative to carry it around for the rest of the game.
This recently happened in my campaign.
We were fighting a dragon, and it kept flying around its lair, making it very hard for my Barbarian to hit it. We ultimately won, but 3 of the party of 5 died.
Later, while dividing loot, I saw that I had been carrying a Potion of Flying the whole time, and the fight probably would have gone better if I had used it.
I’m awful about forgetting about my x/per day abilities, especially if they are granted from magic items. I’ve taken to writing them down on a post-it note to keep them handy for a session.
