Chef/ Butcher

C

hefs are culinary professionals trained in all aspects of food preparation. While they can make your average tasty meal, using the properties found in the fantastic ingredients around the world to become an Arcane Chef, able to enhance the abilities of the adventurer. Additionally, due to the volatile nature of their ingredients, they must be daring as a single pinch of the wrong amount may lead to dangerous effects.

The modifier for the chef/butcher is: perception

Along with the benefits of each Tier, you may choose to add a +1 to your cooking modifier or choose to keep your current modifier.

Gather Meat

Once you have a carcass, you may roll a Butcher check (cooking check) in order to gather the meat and other components. These components are used for all recipes.

---

Tier 1

You start off your culinary adventure small, but you have aspirations. As of now, you only have the ability to season food well in order to make it not taste as bland.

Goldilocks Zone

Man, get tha' peppa of' 'dere.

— Master Chef

As a chief, you must teeter between adding a little sauce or getting lost in the sauce. To put in simpler terms, there is now a zone that you must roll in in order to succeed a check. This zone is dependent on your cooking modifier.
(IE. If the DC is a 10 and your cooking modifier is a 4, you must roll within 6 - 14 in order to succeed. If the modifier is a negative, just make it positive.)

Golilocks Zone Description

Seasoning

While adventuring and worrying about certain death, you can now make your bland meat taste good! Roll a DC 13 cooking check. If you fail the Goldilock zone, you risk over seasoning or under seasoning.
