Torches as a consumable

Open PlasticMohawk opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I understand that keeping track of torches isn't for everybody. I also understand that PCs tend to outlevel torches fairly easily thanks to vision types and spells like Light.

However, there are numerous items which are listed as consumables, from rations to ammunition and more. Thanks to VTT automation help, it is much less tedious to keep track of these things than it used to be. This is a huge boon for survivalist or West Marches style games, and anybody who's played Darkest Dungeon knows how important torches are in dungeon delving.

Therefore I humbly request creating a consumable Torch. Ideally it would operate that a PC can light a torch, consuming one from the stack, and receive the light and weapon aspects from the equipped lit Torch for one hour. At that point, the Torch goes out and they need to light another.

As a DM, sometimes I want to tax the players by blowing out their Torches. This can happen either through bad weather, traps, or whatever I decide as DM. This feature would help me do that. If every PC has the equivalent of an Everburning Torch, this is a tool I do not have in my DM toolbox. It also makes actual Everburning Torches more valuable.

Thank you for your consideration!
