And never sneeze at the opportunity to have the other cooks or waiting staff as gossipers. As an aside, if they are the party to do so, he can then start to spread rumors himself. Or hide poison in food, or cook poison so that someone gets sick (if magical healing is not so prevalent that this wouldn't work, or the cleric could then be the hero and cure the sick person <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />).Having lots of people around to feed, how do you do that without tainting the food except with the  proper food prep?Have some important info hidden in a recipe. Lessen the effects of forced marches. Help the tending to mounts etc and they could have the bonuses suggested.Any obvious aid another action concerning food, such as diplomacy (these people only eat horse meat), survival (as above), heal (long term care, is light duties), gather info (gossipers), maybe search (that oven would never cook anything properly).As ways to try and fool things that have scent (an extra couple of rounds or a higher DC for tracking).</blockquote>
