[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8066367, member: 12731"] First off, I have zero problems with a DM asking a player to track supplies if that player enjoys this. I can only speak of generalities. Such as "a game like PF2 is not geared towards mundane challenges like rations anywhere close to some other, equally worthy, but very different game". Maybe Five Torches Deep; I'm actually not that well versed in low fantasy gaming. As for your post, I'd agree except that I would by "already have more than enough inventory to track" mean daily abilities, spell slots, magic items. Tracking whether you're still eligible for Battle Medicine the current day, for instance. Or which Talisman you've affixed to which weapon, and if you used it last combat or if it's still available? Which spell is in which slot? Etc etc etc That is, the life of a Pathfinder 2 hero is maybe [I]already[/I] complicated enough even if we completely wipe away every mundane need for accounting, even if we just assume ropes, grappling hooks, winter coats, torches magically appear just when we need them. In a game not already overflowing with feats, situational bonuses and magic doodads up your wazoo there is much more brain capacity available for tracking gallons of water, number of sling stones, and exactly how many lengths of rope the party has access to. Again, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with doing this. I'm saying Pathfinder 2 perhaps already has you track and account enough things? Especially when we take into account the exponential wealth of the game. The question of being able to afford most mundane supplies, including food, boarding, your entire standard of living, are entirely trivialized already as early as level 2! Good luck with your gaming!
