Dee`s Wiki | Clasew / Food, Hunger, and Rations

Basic Ration Rules

There are three levels of rationing food supplies; Meager/Minimal, Standard, and Filling. Though one may choose to go without food to further stretch rations, that has no effect on the recovery rate outside of increased hunger.

Meager Rations – Tight rationing of food and water consumed, just enough to avoid going too hungry. Characters under meager rationing may only benefit from a single short rest per day, but do recover hit dice on a long rest as normal. For an adventurer, this is 3-5 servings of food per day; less than that incurs hunger.
Standard Rations – Moderate rationing of food and water consumed, satisfying most needs, though excessive activity (such as adventuring) might put a strain on your energy reserves. Characters under standard rationing may benefit from up to two short rests each day. For an adventurer, this is 6-7 servings of food per day.
Filling Rations – Enough to fill the belly without feeling bloated afterward, easily covering the needs of an adventuring day. Characters under filling rationing may benefit from up to three short rests each day, and recover 1 hit die after each nightly rest. For an adventurer, this is 8-10 servings of food per day.

Going beyond filling rations grants no benefit, other than wasting food, and may have further consequences depending on the level of gluttony...

Hunger Rules

Food and Recipes

Food Item	Serving Size	Description
Salt	very little	An essential mineral! It's quite valuable and makes food taste better.
Drinks
Beer	4oz	Made from grains that have been fermented, this thick drink is more like liquid bread than beverage.
Blood	2oz	Blood derived from a creature. Can make you sick if you drink too much, though Abyssals have no issue with it.
Juice, Bnavbna berry	4oz	The Bnavbna berry is sweet and creamy, and its juice is akin to milk in texture.
Juice, Calaclatu fruit	4oz	This fruit has a grassy taste, and its juice is light and refreshing.
Juice, Pota-Potah plant	4oz	While the fruit of this plant has too little water, the pota-potah plant itself has wonderfully intoxicating juice. Take care when harvesting and preparing.
Milk	3oz	Breast milk obtained from a (usually willing) wet nurse.
Breads and Grains
Bread, Bannock	2oz	...
Bread, Everygrain	2oz	Made from whatever flours and grains are handy, the nutritional value tends to vary, as well as the taste and texture.
Flatbread, Crackers	2oz	This dry, unleavened bread is mostly tasteless, and desperately wants a spread on it, or to be dunked in soup.
Flatbread, Hardtack	2oz	This is more or less flour cooked into a brick form. It keeps quite well, but is difficult to eat without considerable effort.
Flatbread, Panbread	2oz	Usually cooked fresh, it can be made in a pan on a campfire without baking, and is quite tasty.

Offgba Leaves	6oz	Edible but chewy leaves from a common bush, they are more often wild-foraged than grown due to their odd taste.
Pota-Potah	4oz	A desert plant with thick growths that could be called leaves. Very prickly, but has a nice taste once peeled. Often pickled.
Pota-Potah Fruit	2oz	The bright pink fruit of the pota-potah is quite sweet, though also dry. Care must be taken to peel it, but it provides a lot of energy.
Salacci	6oz	These broad, dark green leaves are dense in bitter and spicy flavor. The serving weight is for raw, as when cooked they lose 90% of their mass.
Proteins
Beans, Eggbeans	2oz	Raw weight. Eggbeans are large, white, and rounded, their taste is not at all like eggs, but instead have a mild sweetness to them.

Sausage, Dried	1oz	Preserved, fatty sausage in natural casing. Keeps well, strong taste.
Sausage, Liver	1oz	More of a liver paste shoved into casing, this is very much an acquired taste.
Sausage, Smoked	2oz	Cooked by smoking, this sausage keeps for a little bit, but can be eaten without much further preparation.
Oils and Fats
Salamander Tail Fat	1/2oz	The nutritious fat from a giant river salamander's tail, rendered and filtered. Similar to butter.

Eggs: Fairly easy to obtain, and often plentiful, eggs are a wonderful source of nutrition.

Horned Folk Eggs: While farming these is not likely on any real scale, it would be remiss to not mention that the eggs laid by the horned folk do sometimes wind up in the kitchen.

Milk: While it can be an expensive substance, it is still quite delicious and in demand. Lactation can be induced in several ways, leading to most anyone being able to produce it, though it is mostly only the Shabbali that regularly do so. As such, most milk comes from the Shabbali, who understandably do produce more than other Horned folk. Still, it does not keep terribly well, so it is usually consumed fresh, or turned into cheese or butters.
Salamander Tail Fat: A nutritious substance created by rendering down the harvested fat from a giant river salamander. It is used for primarily for cooking, though higher quality fats may be seasoned for consumption by itself, as the more solid it is at base temperature the better it is regarded. Low quality tail fat is often used as lamp oil. \\
