Decide when a healing item is spent if a monster interrupts the use

Drinking a potion takes time, and in a frightening game something will hit the player in the middle of it. Was the potion used up, kept, or spilled without help? This entry gives one clear moment where the answer changes, so the result feels earned rather than random.

Why this works

A player forgives a loss when they can see where the line was. One clear point, before which they can still back out and after which the item is gone, makes an interrupted use feel like a risk they took rather than a rule that robbed them.

When not to use it

Skip a half-way point when healing is plentiful or the game is fast and forgiving; there, just never spend the item if it is interrupted. In a very harsh game, spend it at the start and say so, so no one is surprised.
