Aside of magic ammunition, I rarely use potions, wands, scrolls, etc. and know it would dumb things down considerably using them. I use the chest just inside the Friendly Arm Inn to hoard these items, thinking I'll use them on more difficult encounters, but I haven't found any that I've needed to back out of and return to the chest for yet. That said, I haven't reached the final encounter yet and remember cheeseing out on the one time I beat it chain casting a wand of summoning and wand of fire. I'm playing through again with the Sword Coast expansion this time and have advanced through most of the game, aside of finishing Durleg's(?) Tower and some of the city quests. I hear the last encounter is significantly tougher with the expansion. I'm hoping to beat it going full party on full party with standard buffs, but is this wishful thinking?
