We were fighting a dragon, and it kept flying around its lair, making it very hard for my Barbarian to hit it. We ultimately won, but 3 of the party of 5 died.
Later, while dividing loot, I saw that I had been carrying a Potion of Flying the whole time, and the fight probably would have gone better if I had used it.
I’m awful about forgetting about my x/per day abilities, especially if they are granted from magic items. I’ve taken to writing them down on a post-it note to keep them handy for a session.
A video game I play recently added on-screen panic buttons, so for all the items you might want to use in a pinch. It’s a turn-based game, so you really have all the time in the world to check your items, but they’re still all listed there to remind you of the options you have. And of course, I still manage to completely ignore them when I get into a panic. 🫠
