[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5334894, member: 52734"] I have my players track a medium level. I've had players who've run out of arrows in the middle of combat. I've had players who've forgotten to pack a lunch for a 3-day trip. I've had players who've bought lanterns and oil, and forgot to get something to light it with. I've had players who've had to deal with sleeping in the rain when they didn't want to carry a tent around (or didn't think to buy one). I've had players look up in dismay at the lip of a pit above them and realize that while they bought 50' of rope each, no one thought to get a grappling hook. Wizards need spell component pouches, but I don't track the actual contents unless its an expensive foci. Characters pay "lifestyle maintenance" costs, but it's usually a lump sum - unless they want to give me the gory details. Part of the reason I track some of the "minor stuff" is that I've had personal experience where I've left on trips myself many times and have forgotten to take something simple yet vital (camera, sunglasses, even my wallet ... more than once). Sometimes its fun to see how creative players get when they've accidentally run out of something or forgot to get something back in town. [/QUOTE]
