[QUOTE="Enevhar Aldarion, post: 7246240, member: 6818233"] Since the spell does is not specific on it, I house rule that one berry only gives it's nourishment benefits to a medium-size or smaller creature. A large creature can still receive the healing magic, though. Also, you could give more than one to a large, or larger, creature for it to gain the nourishment benefit, with the larger the creature, the more berries it would take. A hill giant would probably take three berries in my game for full spell effect. As for nourishment versus feeling full, I would say the berry does not make you feel full because you are not putting anything more than a single berry into your stomach. Then it comes down to level of intelligence for how a creature would react to that. The lower the intelligence, the more likely the creature would still try to eat because they can still feel their stomach is empty, even though they do not feel hungry. Then there is the issue of having real food in front of a lower intelligence creature even after eating the berry. Look at dogs, for example. If there is food in front of them, they will eat themselves sick instead of stopping when they are full. So a really dumb hill giant would probably eat the berries and the halfling, while a more intelligent giant would take the berries and maybe take the halfling prisoner, in order to keep a supply of the berries coming.
