[QUOTE="mrpopstar, post: 8372112, member: 25352"] A waterskin carries 4 pints of liquid. That's half a day's water for a medium creature. Running low on water is literally the most efficient way to start racking up levels of exhaustion. Unless your Dungeon Master has stocked the dungeon or wilderness with a barrel or small cask, [I]create water[/I] isn't going to be much use as you need an open container that can accommodate at least 4 gallons if you want to supply the average party with a day's worth of water. You need to have either a cleric or a druid in your party to even consider the option. Not every party has one of those, and unless you're entering into a situation where they can anticipate having to prepare the spell, they're not going to do so until after everyone has faced a Medium DC skill check to try and avoid their first level of exhaustion. You need to have either a druid or ranger in your party to even consider the [I]goodberry[/I] option. Not every party has one of those. You need to have either a cleric or paladin in your party to even consider the [I]create food and water[/I] option. Not every party has one of those, they need to be at least 5th level to cast it, and unless you're entering into a situation where they can anticipate having to prepare the spell, they're not going to do so until after everyone has faced a Medium DC skill check to try and avoid their first level of exhaustion. You need to have either a cleric, druid, or paladin in your party to even consider [I]purify food and drink[/I], which does not let you eat or drink pretty much anything, it lets you eat or drink [U]food[/U] and [U]drink[/U] without fear of being poisoned or being infected with a disease. It's easy to pose solutions for things in a vacuum without having to account for the details. [/QUOTE]
