You had to have pouches such on your person, which could obviously be lost. If you were captured or whatever then you are suddenly limited to either scrounging for materials, or coming up with spells that don't require them (there are some). While there were no explicit rules for doing things like substitutions or skimping on stuff that would be a whole other dimension that is opened up. However, none of that is really enhanced by super assiduous tracking of every owlbear feather or pinch of dust. I mean, you CAN definitely track EVERYTHING, though you will run into some issues. The problem is, what are you then playing, clerks and cupboards? I mean, is it really the exciting game you want to play where it basically rewards super-accurate book keeping? Generally, no.</p></blockquote><p></p>
