[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9273291, member: 6877472"] If it has a price tag attached to it, it's not supplies (but I know what you're talking about, story below). Supplies will cover rations, water, normal ammunition, and non-costly spell components only. You do have a point about containers, but D&D has historically been pretty bad about the exact capacity of a given container (and even in cases where they do give numbers, some quick math can result in raised eyebrows). I'm not worried about it too much, this system is intended to be abstract. If there's ever an instance where the party can acquire, as in your example, magical liquid, I'll burn that bridge when I get there (likely just by deciding in advance how much I want them to have, and have the excess lose it's potency or something, lol). STORY TIME! Back in my 2e days, a player of mine didn't want to go through the tedium of buying equipment and asked me if he could just set aside funds for "survival stuff", loosely defined as "everything I need to survive". I figured this was fair, he had ample carry capacity for most things, and I'd just deduct whatever he pulled out of there (this was before D&D had prebuilt gear kits, something I don't think I ever saw in a game before Earthdawn). Lord knows I'd spent quite some time going over the PHB equipment list purchasing cloak pins for my cloaks and deciding if I wanted soft boots or high hard boots! Things went fairly well for the first adventure. The second adventure, he produced a potion of healing which I didn't recall him having, but it was 2e- any pre-written adventure I used was usually brimming with swords +1 and potions of healing. I think it was the third adventure where he suddenly had a +1 dagger that I definitely knew he didn't have. I called him out on this and he said "it's in m survival stuff! It's everything I need to survive, and right now I need a magic dagger!" I can laugh now, but at the time I wasn't amused at all! [/QUOTE]
