If you're smart enough and don't confront enemies way out of your league, the only resource you expend is ammo. You will try to reduce any kind of damage (from attacks) or drain (from spellcasting) to zero. If the damage is not close to zero, you will try to heal it (with First Aid or spells or just some rest). I am not certain that this ruleset was inspired by video games predating it.</blockquote>
