“Better save these elixirs for the last boss.” Proceeds to beat the game without using them

I’m working on a Metroidvania game where consumables work on a system where when you use one it’ll respawn at its original location. You can only carry one copy of any given consumable at a time but if you’re willing to do a bit of backtracking you can always replenish your stock.

As a DM this is always a dilemma - you want to reward the party with some nice stuff but you hate to kill off a character with it. So it looks like the BBG left his most powerful item in the closet for some reason.

Hey don’t criticize how I play!

Enough to put some flesh back on those old bones.
