Long Rests

Keeping a full belly is just as important as resting or sharpening your sword. In order to get a full rest a player must consume an item that is considered a "full meal". Rations for example count as a full meal. Partial meals can grant a full meal by consuming ten of them. An apple, muffin, or hunnybun is a partial meal. If a player does not eat during a long rest they are considered half rested and must choose one of the following options:

• Regain hit dice and hit points.
• Regain class features.
• Regain spellslots
• Prevent Exhaustion

Special Meals

Chefs, and player proficient with cook's utnesils, can utilize special meals that can grant beneficial effects if cooked correctly or make your party very sick if not. A nat 20 or succeeding the preparation DC by 5 or more is counted as a critical success while a nat 1 or failing by 5 or more is counted as a critical failure.

Discovering Special Meals

A player starts off knowing a number of special meal recipes equal to their intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). They may learn under a master chef or study a cook book to learn additional recipes (1 recipe per cook book).

Favorite Meal

A player proficient in cook's utensils will typically pick a recipe that is their favorite, granting additional effects when prepared. A player may swap their favorite meal whenever they learn a new recipe.
