I'm having trouble finding where in the rule books it says how much water one must drink in order to avoid thirst and dehydration. I see in the DMG it says how often one must drink on page 159 (saves start being made after 3 days). However, I cannot find the volume of water one must drink.
I assumed that one waterskin (1/2 gallon) was enough water for a typical day, but I can't find anything to back me up or prove me wrong. Can someone help me?
The reason I ask is because I am playing in a desert campaign and my character bought 7 waterskins before heading out. On our first day of travel, the DM asked for two Endurance checks. I failed both of them, and in addition to losing a healing surge for each failed check, the DM said that my character had to drink a total of 4 gallons of water to stay alive.
Thanks for any and all help.
