+ | Some questions came up while discussing this. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Create Food and Water == | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's obv not fair for me to put too harsh of a nerf on the one single spell that's between the current party and the (otherwise) most likely cause of a TPK. Between campaigns, maybe even between parties, sure, but I can't and won't do it now. Pulling the rug from underneath your feet like that is a violation of our social contract. Buuut… I can rule that the conjured, bland food can't //reset// your starvation days, only // | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Eating normal while starving == | ||
+ | |||
+ | So in VotE, eating normal once you've started starving doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the PHB, the whole " | ||
+ | |||
+ | The rules above are a compromise between the mildness of PHB and the brutality of VotE. | ||
+ | Eating normal can stave it off but doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | So what happens in that compromise if you eat normal (but not triple) once you've entered the state of racking up exhaustion levels? I'm gonna rule that it acts as if it resets you, and you can start resting off those exhaustion levels, but then once you start starving again it picks up where you were. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Example == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Jack S has a con of +3 so can have six starvation days without taking exhaustion levels. On day seven he picks up one exhaustion level and on day eight one more. He has eight starvation days & 2 exhaustion levels. Then he eats normally (1 pound, or 3 pounds of conjured food). He then counts as having no starvation days and can start resting off his exhaustion levels for as long as he is eating normally. If months later of eating normally, if he never eats triple, even if all exhaustion levels are gone, he happens to skip a day of food, that counts as his 9th starvation day so he picks up an exhaustion level right away. Eating triple (three pounds of non-conjured food, or 1 pound of humanoid) resets the starvation days for real down to zero and the next time he skips a day of food he'll have one starvation day. | ||

+ | Your amount of starvation days is not secret info and you won't unknowingly be walking around with a bunch of starvation days. | ||
