Most of the time I just don’t use the stuff. Bags of potions, elixirs, grenades, coatings. I just forget it or don’t feel like it.
- Ilosecrafyquowi77 emphasizes:
The amount of special bombs, arrows, and potions that I never touch because I save them for later.
- Fluffy-Tanuki writes:
I try to hide multiple times before realizing that I am in a fully lit area, wasting my action and bonus action and can do nothing but end the turn.
- Tony_stark_lives describes a simple but common mistake:
I forget to get the first person through a door, and then no one can come through the door.
- RevolutionaryTone276 experienced how a click in the wrong place can change the course of a battle:
Attacking the ground and wasting an action when I actually wanted to move.
