[QUOTE="phindar, post: 3688224, member: 37198"] I don't think it will matter that much. I can't imagine a group of pcs looking at a step pyramid and thinking, "Well, we have plenty of food and water. Why adventure?" Unless they have a 0-level spell that lets them create two gallons of gold a day, they're going to in their rolling Search checks and killing goblins (or whomever). Beyond that, 6 gallons of water isn't that much. It varies a bit with the system but if a person needs half a gallon of water a day and you double that for exertion and double it for the extreme heat, a single pc would be breaking even on 2 gallons a day (or 1.5 gallons if you go with the 3.5 theory that doubling twice is triple). And even if properly hydrated, you can still use heat exhaustion and exposure as a stick-- depending on how extreme the heat is, shelter will be pretty important to guard against the extreme heat of the day, and the temperature drop at night. Or, just hit them with a big sandstorm. Its a cliche, but it works. [/QUOTE]
