Rations

Rations are an ordinary supply of food for one day, helping the party plan expeditions away from settlements. In Elaria, they may be prepared at home, bought at a market, or given by people the heroes have helped. Their appearance and taste can evoke a particular region and give the journey a personal character.

Dividing supplies offers opportunities to cooperate and decide when to replenish equipment or change the route. Food alone does not restore a specified number of hit points or replace healing supplies. It may become part of a trade or an act of kindness in the story. Running short of supplies may bring the party to a new settlement where they hear news important to their task.

Rules effect: Food for one day. The price is 5 cp. This is a consumable supply; account for its consumption when used. Its listed effect applies to the situation it is intended for. Additional bonuses, other forms of protection, and new magical abilities are not part of this entry.
