Comments from the Thumb: Man, do we love us some Dark Souls — we like hard games, we like griefing invaders, and we like killing huge monsters. You expect some Dark Souls posts in the next few weeks — think about them as companions to our old Dark Souls variant rules.
Dark Souls Consumable Items
Adventurers in the land of ancient lords rely on quick wits quicker reflexes to survive the waves of undead and numerous hazards that plague the crumbling kingdoms therein. Though almost all undead carry an estus flask on their journeys, they also utilize a number of uncommon items to best the challenges separating the bonfires. From the humble prism stone, to the invaluable undead hunter charm, these items prove that is it better to have full pockets than abundant souls.
