[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8957516, member: 7808"] I'm not advocating for anything like you are suggesting. My current character sheet lists rations in terms of days of food, not a breakdown of the ingredients. What I'm talking about are meaningful choices in terms of how things are allocated. How much space to spend on food vs ammo vs tools vs etc. I can assume they know what food to bring, how to buy the right kind of arrows, etc. Getting into minutia like that has potential to be interesting, but it's outside of the scope of the real discussion here. This is more in the line of things that I was attempting to address. Personally, I have an expectation that if you don't want to keep track of arrows, the solution is simple: don't be an archer. Be a warlock with unlimited Eldritch Blast or a sword based fighter that doesn't use ammunition. There are so many ways in D&D to mitigate resource management if the players put in just a bit of effort. Goodberries for food. Decanters of Endless Water. Magical storage devices that can lug around hundred of pounds of resources. Heck, in 5e darkvision is so common that even torches are almost obsolete. [/QUOTE]
