Hunger

Hunger is a survival need measured in minutes of your character's own clock.

Rations feed for 240 minutes. Fruit, bread, fish and meat feed for less and spoil by stage. A tavern meal takes half an hour and keeps hunger off for 240 minutes. Well fed grants +5 Strength and Endurance.

The effect of neglect depends on the survival setting: Boons rewards meeting needs, Casual borrows stamina, and Hard can damage stats and health and cause sickness. See Climates & Calories for all settings.
