[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 2686468, member: 525"] Being vindictive. It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. So how does water in sealed containers and iron rations really go bad? Unless the Dm also arbitrarily ruled that the beef jerky got wet and some point and contaminated with mold its going to pretty well last forever. Also by carrying 1 year of food the player is implying that he is refilling his stock every time he hits town so odds are against any of his food is actually a whole year old unless again the Dm is being vindictive and decides the player always ate the freshest food and then one day yanked out the oldest bad stuff and ate it. This is where the sagas of horrible DM's come from I think. BTW, unless a player had a whole wagon train of mules the only way they are carrying enough water for one whole year of water would be via magic. Probably the same for the food. A whole years supply of anything is far more than a person and his mount could carry normally. So if bags of holding and portable holes were used (which is pretty much a requirement) then how would the food become contaminated and spoil? [/QUOTE]
