 __TOC__
 Such preparedness uses a combination of judgment, preparedness and adaptability.  Once an everyday task is undertaken, paying attention to factors such as environment, weather conditions, terrain or other variables becomes second nature.  As a result, the character develops a planned, conscious approach to travelling, settling in for the night, breaking camp in the morning and prior to taking any scaled action, such as departing an inn, entering a dungeon, getting aboard ship and so on.

+In some cases, [[Malady Checks|maladies]] that occur can be counteracted.  If a character with the preparedness ability were present, they could not forget to gather enough wood for the fire.  Or leave something behind.  Or ignore that tents can rip and need needle and thread.  This requires that the player speak up, however, should such a dichotomy arise.

 == Retconning ==
-The ability's primary usefulness is in forestalling [[Malady Checks|maladies]] that might occur, both for oneself and for others who are nearby.  Equipment and supplies are not mistakenly left behind, necessary details are attended to and the individual is naturally cautious in situations where one false move may mean [[Injury|injury]], maiming or [[Death|death]].  The character is assumed to remember things that need doing, and to have done those things in a timely fashion, knowing what tools to bring along, what provisions to pack, and what additional gear may be needed.  This allows the character to "retcon," or revise retrospectively, so that things that ought to have been bought at the last market WERE bought, so long as the "last market" was visited less than three days ago.
+Should the party have forgotten something quite ordinary that surely ought to be done — and would certainly have been done if the players could actually see the game world — then the DM can revise the situation respectively.  This means that things that ought to have been bought at the market, like food, or things that a player character should have bought when first entering the game world, like shoes, can be corrected.
