Now in a desert this might be an issue but for the average 'temperate' climes water shopuld be readily available in streams, ponds and even puddles.Food is simply an issue of finding a bug or spearing a trout from the local stream.We need to remember that in most of the socieities where our roleplay is set, the concepts and skills involved in 'living off the land' and gathering your own food are ingrained. It is in fact the idea of the general store providing everything that is an anomaly. Perhaps a wealthy urbanite who has never had to gather food might be in trouble but IMHO the average Adventurer be they fighter or wizard at least knows enough to catch a fish or gather a few wild mushrooms to survive on. Rangers make sure everyone eats well, but noone is going to starve unless they happen to be in a desert, or a waterless plain unprepared.</blockquote>
