[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 637982, member: 9410"] [b]75) Be inventive![/b] 75) Be inventive! Pity the poor individuals who look at a candle and can only see it as a source of light!... In order to survive, PCs must be able to think of multiple uses for each item in their inventories, as well as the things around them. Candles can shed light, yes. They are also a source for wax. Wax can be used to waterproof that leaky scrollcase, protect an important document, preserve food, affix small items to larger ones, plug ears against harpies and other such danger, etc.... Look at everything around you, in real life and in game, and ask yourself "How many different ways can I use this?" Practice it. Ropes are useful for a lot more than climbing. With a handaxe or knife, a coil of rope, some knotlore and a little time, a stand of stout saplings can become a sled, travois, leanto, blind, or any number of other such things. If you need to cross a 60' chasm with 30' trees, it can be done (if you rig them together right). Mental agility is like physical: You get better at it, the more you practice. How many uses can you find for dirt? [/QUOTE]
