with a name like Dire Rat you know it must be good. {Playoff of an an obscure Saturday Night Live commercial parady}
Can't you cast Remove Disease curing the whole meat of disease? (it cures a whole person after all)"With a name like 10,000 nuns and orphans, it's got to be good!"
"What's so bad about that?"
"They all got eaten by rats!"
Dire rat would probably be less likely to give you a disease than pork, come to think of it, but most villagers aren't going to accept that logic. Better to just make it into dried rations and save some money, if the party is that desperate for cash.
The best bet for selling the meat in town is to check out the owner of the local kennel or something similar. While most humans wouldn't touch it, it's possible a kennel owner would feed it to his dogs (assuming that he was convinced that the meat didn't harbor any diseases!).
In that character's situation, rat meat was the only mammal on the menu. In that type of situation, a ratburger beat tofu hands down IMHO. I'd eat a ratburger in that future myself, well done though..
Actually, I'd think the 0th level Purify food and drink spell ought to work. If the party is trying to sell ratmeat at 5th level, they are waaaay too poor.Can't you cast Remove Disease curing the whole meat of disease? (it cures a whole person after all)
One 3rd level spell and all. Most parties have Clerics.
OP just said "Here's the situation." that means it might just be a hypothetical example.Personally I'd like to hear from the OP why his PCs are trying to sell dire rat meat. There's been a lot of speculation, but no definite answer.
Yeah. If they take decent care of a palatable animal, 1 to 3 silver a pound sounds good.takasi said:And in general, when adventurers kill wild game do they have any special value?
Using RL examples it sounds like a male Moose has over 50% meat to weight ratio, while the caribou has about a 30% meat to weight ratio.magnumguide.com said:A bull moose can yield upwards of 800lbs of meat and a caribou 200lbs of meat. A wet brown bear hide can weigh up to 150lbs.
It's not. I'll shed some light:OP just said "Here's the situation." that means it might just be a hypothetical example.
