in XGtE, magic items/rarity.. Do consumables count as an item? Thought I read somewhere they are 1/3 an item I *think* (without looking at the book, not at hand) that consumables generally have a lower rarity to make up for the fact that they are used up

Ok, thank you! That’s pretty harsh still, only assuming a group will find 6 potions of healing (common-minor) before 5th level!I believe they are listed on the PHB item list for that reason – default is that you can purchase them (want to say for 50 gp)
