[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5561867, member: 57383"] That'll work I suppose, although I would rather there be some random element involved. Maybe use Fort checks at an increasing DC, or a single Fort check? Hmm, something like: Starvation (Ex): Unlike other Outsiders, blazozoids must eat. If a blazozoid goes without feeding for longer than 10 days it must begin to make daily Fort saves (DC equal to the number of days spent without food). For every failed Fort save it loses one size category to a minimum size of Large (modify physical abilities, natural armor, and damage as per the usual size advancement rules in reverse). Each time that a starving blazozoid eats, it regains one size category; if a Large starving blazozoid does not feed within one month, it dies. ...that seems too fast to me. I'll have to think about it further. How's this? [B]Starvation (Ex):[/B] Unlike other Outsiders, blazozoids must eat. If a blazozoid goes without feeding for 10 days it must make a Fortitude check (DC 10) or lose one size category (modify physical abilities, natural armor, and damage as per the usual size advancement rules in reverse). For every additional 10 days of starvation the blazozoid must make another Fort save (DC 10 plus 5 per additional save) or lose a further size category, to a minimum size of Large. Each time that a starving blazozoid eats, it regains one size category. Once starvation reduces a blazozoid to Large size it takes 1d6 Constitution damage from starvation for every 10 days it goes without food. Since it is starvation damage it can not be cure by [I]restoration[/I] spells or similar means. Oh, and shouldn't we say something about [I]how much[/I] it needs to eat to count as a "meal"? [/QUOTE]
