When Hunger and thirst mechanics are enabled by the GM, characters must eat to avoid becoming Starving.
Players need to consume food that replenish their Creature Size and Hunger and Thirst Meters, with the required amounts varying based on creature size.
- When a player's Hunger meter drops to 20%, they are considered Hungry.
- When the meter reaches 0%, they are considered Starving.
Starving players become Exhausted and gain a stack of Maimed.
Each day while Starving, they must make a DC5 Fortitude Contesting Roll (typically at DIS due to being Exhausted). Failing the Contesting Roll results in an additional stack of Maimed.
Once a character accumulates 10 stacks of Maimed, they die.
