Omg you can't be serious about using consumables, those are meant to be hoarded all the way never to be used or sold :(

“I’ll save it for a big battle” never uses it

This is me in every game... Until BG3 honor mode. My refusal to use cheesy strats/builds and my tendency to do things the hard way (either for loot hoarding or for the lulz) mean pretty much every major battle is a nail-biter. You can bet I'm combing through my inventory very carefully for consumables when I'm about to lose an entire run.

My proudest moment was when a potion of featherfall saved me from a near-wipe at Phase Spider Queen. And I didn't use it to escape down the chasm, I used it to kill her.

It’s this. The drop rate doesn’t make sense until you’re on a no-cheese HM run and then it’s practically perfect balance of resource management and always having an ace up your sleeve if you think a moment.

Saving the day with a healing word and a lobbed potion of haste after grymforge wiped 3/4 the party in one shot was peak play.
