[QUOTE="jasper, post: 8085786, member: 277"] [B]Food[/B] A character needs one pound of food per day and can make food last longer by subsisting on half rations. Eating half a pound of food in a day counts as half a day without food. A character can go without food for a number of days equal to 3 + his or her Constitution modifier (minimum 1). At the end of each day beyond that limit, a character automatically suffers one level of [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/appendix-a-conditions#Exhaustion']exhaustion[/URL]. A normal day of eating resets the count of days without food to zero. [B]Water[/B] A character needs one gallon of water per day, or two gallons per day if the weather is hot. A character who drinks only half that much water must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer one level of [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/appendix-a-conditions#Exhaustion']exhaustion[/URL] at the end of the day. A character with access to even less water automatically suffers one level of [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/appendix-a-conditions#Exhaustion']exhaustion[/URL] at the end of the day. If the character already has one or more levels of [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/appendix-a-conditions#Exhaustion']exhaustion[/URL], the character takes two levels in either case. Ration 1 day Type: Adventuring Gear Cost: 5 sp Weight: 2 lbs Rations consist of dry foods suitable for extended travel, including jerky, dried fruit, hardtack, and nuts. this from D&D Beyond. Players handbook. So for 50 cents you getting two days of food, So Either a typo in the ration. Either change it to 2 days. Or Weight down to 1 pd. Can you give page number or chapter for the DMG please. [/QUOTE]
