Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9317010" data-attributes="member: 7030563">It does not say in the petrified condition that they can not breathe or eat.   They are incapacitated, so they can't take actions but none of these things require actions.  So RAW this is not the case, they can breathe, eat, and sleep, although they need to accomplish this without moving.Also it states you stop aging, so one could conclude that this means you don't need to eat, breathe or sleep as the negative effects of not doing these things are all associated with aging (i.e. time passing).It does clearly say in the petrified condition that they are a creature, these other questions are more ambiguous and I could understand if a DM ruled RAW you died 3 minutes after being petrified.  That isn't a big deal though as raising someone from the dead is easier to do than unpetrifying someone.</blockquote>
