Hunger
Your body is suffering from a lack of nutrition and you are starting to feel a deep hunger. When you suffer Hunger, increase your level of Hunger by the amount specified. The effects of Hunger are given in the following table:
Effects of Hunger
| Level | Effects |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | You feel hungry. Checks made to heal Injuries, Diseases, and other maladies are made with a -2 penalty.† |
| 3-4 | You are Weakened. Checks made to heal Injuries, Diseases, and other maladies are made with a -5 penalty. |
| 5-6 | Your Maximum Stamina, Resolve, and Hitpoints are reduced by 50%. Natural Regeneration does not work. Checks made to heal Injuries, Diseases, and other maladies are made with a -10 penalty. |
| 7+ | Death by starvation |
Special: Creatures that do not need to eat are immune to Hunger.
Ongoing Hunger
Ongoing Hunger effects work the same way as Ongoing Damage, with hunger occurring immediately if the initial save is failed.
Removing Hunger
Hunger may be restored by eating a meal. Different meals restore different amounts of hunger, and some magical effects can restore even more.
