    Do you want to track rations ?

    Or do you have a druid with goodberries that fixes it easily ?

    You could also do a bit of game hunting.

    Depends if you WANT to do it. If you have FUN doing so. If yes, then do it. If not, then don’t.

    If youre stucked with a tight DM that doesnt care for your fun or your opinion, you can make a druid multiclass and never be bothered with it, ever.

    Its all about if you want to.

      Do you want to track rations ?

      Yes its part of the game

      Or do you have a druid with goodberries that fixes it easily ?

      No such thing at our current level of play (needs a Level 3 Druid)

      You could also do a bit of game hunting.

      Subsisting via Hunting or Gathering is part of the games/campaign mechanic. So is Camp Management, Exploring regions, managing settlements and kingdoms.

      If youre stucked with a tight DM that doesnt care for your fun or your opinion, you can make a druid multiclass and never be bothered with it, ever.

      Or you know, its not just about you and your opinion but the entire tables. So either the entire table including the GM, they are not your adversary, comes up with a consens you can live with or you better find a new table that aligns with your expectations, or rather make your own.

      If youre stucked with a tight DM

      coming back to that. I am that GM and my players agreed to the terms and services and the pitch of the campaign beforehand. Thus we have no issues playing Pathfinder 2e’s Kingmaker Campaign.

        So your players want to do it right ? They agree to it, they find it fun, and its not the equivalent of a stone in their shoe that they cant wait to get rid of, right ?

          Yeah, but what is your fun factor here? It can get dire if they are running out of rations and cant find enough to subsist in the wild. Is that fun, or is that already unfun? Is having the fitting ammunition at hand fun or is it already unfun because you can run out of that resource?

          Remember resource management in DnD (and Pathfinder) is a pretty big game mechanic. Be it Hitpoints, Spellslots, Spell-Like-Abilities, Carrying Capacities, or Ammunition and Food.

            Thats the point. Thats the whole point my friend. Its only a good thing if you like having it in your game. Its not about encounter balance or rules when it comes to ammunition, only if it enhances your fun or deteriorates it.

            Restrictions can be fun, but make sure they actually are when using them.
