A while ago I asked whether you are a do the good thing first or save it for later sort of person, like eat the best part or whatever.
Now I’m curious if it was a zombie apocalypse, would that change your calculation?
So not in daily life, but if you found something good but you know you’ll likely die soon.
Do you consume it all now (not just food, but media or friendship), or do you dole it out to yourself to make it last?
Per-encounter resource used are generally better for me, yes.
It’s one of my big problems with DND. Almost the whole thing is centered around per-day so there’s this constant pressure to avoid actually using anything. Like, you could end the fight with a 3rd level spell, or you could slowly end it without spending any resources. It takes longer to play but is otherwise mechanically superior. Deeply anti-fun for me.
