Hunger

You are hungry and that is not good…

Hunger is a status condition that the player character can acquire if they do not consume rations for a prolonged period of time, reducing certain statistics and weakening your character. There are three phases of hunger:


 * 1) Mild Hunger: The character is suffering the mild effects of malnourishment (Physique -1, Agility -1, Senses -1, +5% Critical Failure Chance)
 * 2) Hunger: The character is suffering the effects of malnourishment (Physique -2, Agility -2, Senses -2, +10% Critical Failure Chance)
 * 3) Severe Hunger: The character is suffering the severe effects of malnourishment (Physique -3, Agility -3, Senses -3, +15% Critical Failure Chance)

When the character enters a state of hunger they will be notified through the notification log. If the character exceeds the “Severe Hunger” phase, they will enter a state of Starvation, causing continual damage to the character’s Health points unless alleviated with rations.

How to Remove
Hunger is prevented and alleviated by consuming rations. Rations will automatically be consumed by the character and members of their party at predetermined time intervals (around once per day).


 * This counter is not in effect while the player is viewing their inventory, engaged in dialogue, or engaged in combat
 * Certain companions, like the Nameless Soldier, do not need to consume rations

When a ration is consumed, the player will be notified through the notification log. A consumed ration will also be indicated by a chewing sound effect. There is no hunger gauge in Stygian, so it is always a good idea to have a couple of extra rations with you.
