Culinarian

Level 1 | CC: Chef | Rarity: Mythic | Cost: 10 TP
You know how to prepare food for the party. To do so, you must gather ingredients and prepare them. There are three different types of foods you can prepare: Banquets, Snacks, and Meals.
Banquets are prepared during a short or long rest, and typically consist of large meals for the entire party. Banquets provide buffs that last throughout the day, and persist into the first three rounds of combat.
Snacks are consumables, which are prepared outside of combat. They are often simple and serve short and specific purposes in combat, such as dispelling a debuff or healing some HP.
Meals are made while in combat, and serve typically as party-wide heals or buffs.

All food must be prepared using ingredients, which are either harvested in the wild or bought from vendors. Ingredients have the following properties:
-Rarity: Indicates how hard to obtain the ingredient is. Rarer ingredients typically have wilder, more exotic effects.
-Quality: Indicates the quality of the ingredient obtained. High-quality ingredients typically lead to more powerful effects for the dish they’re used in.
-Nutritional Value: Indicates the type of benefit (or detriment) the ingredient brings. Different types of nutrients such as Vitamins or Protein will alter the potential effects of the dish they’re used in.
-Special Effects: Some ingredients may potentially bring special beneficial or detrimental effects to the dishes they’re introduced to.
-Fresh Bonus: A special bonus trait that is granted only when ingredients are scavenged or bought fresh from locally-sourced vendors. Chance to grant the trait is a weighted percentage depending on the importance of the individual ingredients.
Not all of these effects are immediately known, nor will including an ingredient with a special effect necessarily cause the dish to possess it.

When assembling a dish, there are also a number of factors to consider for the ingredients you use. While you can follow a recipe for a specific dish reliably, experienced chefs will be capable of forming their own custom meals to serve whatever situation the party requires. Though the following traits are a short list of common ingredient properties, it is not an exhaustive list.

-Calories: Determines how much HP the dish will heal.
-Protein: Provides bonuses to STR, Physical ATK, and Crit Chance.
-Carbohydrates: Provides bonuses to DEX, to-hit, and AC.
-Minerals: Provides bonuses to CON, PC, and Physical DEF.
-Fats: Provides bonuses to INT, Magical ATK, and Spell Slots.
-Vitamins: Provides bonuses to WIS, Magical DEF, and UP.
-Alcohol: Provides bonuses to CHA and Luck.

Once you’ve assembled your ingredients, you must attempt to make the dish you’ve envisioned using a d100 cooking roll. The DC to clear varies depending on the ingredients used and the dish being attempted, as well as the equipment you have on hand and your own cooking skills. The process of preparing the meal itself will also take a varying amount of time as a result. Meals you produce can be judged by the following qualities:

-Rarity: Indicates how exotic and unique your dish is. While rarity is mostly affected by the rarity of the ingredients used, it can be higher or lower depending on how the dish is assembled, and what ingredients are highlighted.
-Quality: Indicates the overall tastiness of the dish. While using high-quality ingredients is a good way to improve quality, the technique and skills of actually preparing the dish can either positively or negatively impact quality by a significant amount.
-Consumption Time: Determines how many actions it will take to consume the food. Larger or harder-to-eat meals will require more actions to consume.
-Saturation: Determines how many turns of the Stuffed debuff the meal will grant. The Stuffed debuff prevents the further consumption of food until it dissipates. Larger meals and meals that contain heavier foods will have a longer saturation.
-Shelf Life: Food doesn’t last forever. Most banquets and meals you create will not last much longer than a few days without special storage methods. Snacks, however, typically last much longer. The longer that food is left out, the more its quality will degrade– the rate at which this happens varies depending on the dish.
