Resources

Short Term:

• Health (HP) - When this hits 0, you die, and the game is permanently over (unless you're a Felid).

• Magic (MP) - Used to cast spells and abilities. Even if you're a "pure" melee character, many god abilities require some MP to cast, so watch out!

• Positioning - Where you and/or monsters and/or allies are on the screen.

Medium Term:

• Piety - A currency to use your god's abilities. Some gods like Ashenzari or Ru do not use piety in standard ways.

• XP Evocables - Items like condenser vanes and phantom mirrors. These items recharge when you gain XP. Having multiple condenser vanes is no more helpful than 1, as they all share the same cooldown.

Long Term:

• Consumables - Potions, scrolls, and wands. For all intents and purposes, these items are finite. Some consumables are more valuable than others. The more possible situations an item can be useful in, the more valuable it is.
