Food is necessary for the survival of characters and creatures alike. It may be purchased in market places and, if not eaten, must be stored properly or it will spoil.
Consumption
The amount of food that must be eaten is divided into 12-hour periods, or "½-days". This is so that if characters participate in combat in the morning, while resting in the evening, the amount of food required is different for each ½-day period.
From this, we may presume most of the food eaten by character's is consumed in two primary meals (with nibbling taking place throughout the day). The amount eaten depends on the energy required of a given activity. The table shown indicates how much food is required for each activity type.
Combat
This is very strenuous work, requiring all of the character's doggedness while incorporating stress, cuts, bruises and torn ligaments. Restoring the body after combat needs a great deal of food. However, if a combat can be resolved in three rounds or less, it may be counted as "labour." Light combat lasts from 4 to 10 rounds in a 12-hour period. Hard combat describes any combat that lasts for 11 rounds or more.
