I understand that, but I would caution against letting that mentality creep into your characters reaction...how would somebody reasonably respond in this RL situation? Conserve their strength, or do what they thought they had to to protect themselves? Put it like this...what use is it saving the Greater Health Potion if you never use it? If you are fighting a boss and don't use it because you want to save it and lose because you didn't use it, what's the point of having it?
