Trail Rations
The listed price is for a day's worth of food for a medium sized creature, two days for a small creature, or half a day for a large.
WANDERMEAL
Price 2 ECU; Weight 1/2 lb.
This tough, dried cake is a Kitsune sweet made from flour, water, and spices. Wandermeal keeps for months without spoiling, travels well, and fills the belly.
However, eating it for over a week without other nutrients requires the eater to make a daily Fortitude saving throw (DC 15 + 1 for each additional day) or be sickened. The effect ends 1 day after more nutritious food is eaten.
TRAIL RATIONS - Standard
Price 20 ECUs; Weight 1 lb.
This bland food is usually some kind of hard tack, jerky, and dried fruit, though the contents vary from region to region and the race of those creating it. As long as it stays dry, it can go for months without spoiling.
The Phong also manufacture a Dextro-protein version of this trail ration.
TRAVEL CAKE MIX
Price 50 ECU; Weight 1 lb.
This mixture of flour, powdered milk, natron, sugar, and salt lasts for months in a sealed container. When mixed with water (eggs are optional), it creates a batter you can use to make biscuits (or other quickbreads such as pancakes, waffles, scones, or muffins) or a cake.
One pound of travel cake mix makes a dozen biscuits, a wonderful treat when a party is far away from home and sick of eating wandermeal and trail rations.
SHOFIXTI TRAIL RATIONS - All Races
Price 100 ECUs; Weight 1/2 lb.
A day's worth of Shofixti trail rations is actually more than what a typical adventuring Shofixti eats in a day, as they manufacture the portions for medium sized creatures even though they are small. Common foods include sweetened dried fruit, aged sausage, hard sharp cheese, honey cakes, and a mixture of roasted grains, nuts, and molasses. If you subsist on nothing but these rations for at least 1 week, you reduce the penalty for the shaken condition from –2 to –1. This benefit lasts until you eat a meal other than the rations or go for a full day without eating a day's worth.
The Turians also manufacture a Dextro-protein version of this trail ration.
DEZORIAN TRAIL RATIONS - Group 5 Races and Orcs.
Price 200 ECUs; Weight 1 lb.
A typical Dezorian trail ration consists of coarse Snow-bread, thin, tough Snow-worm sausages that must be chewed slowly to soften them, dried meat of uncertain origin, and pungent peppers. If you are an Group 5 race or an Orc who subsists on nothing but these rations for at least 1 week, you add +2 to the DC to resist any Intimidate checks you make. This bonus lasts until you eat a meal other than the rations or go for a full day without eating a day's worth.
PALMAN TRAIL RATIONS - Group 1 Races
Price 400 ECUs; Weight 1 lb.
Almost any preserved food can be found in Palman trail rations, which are designed to keep a wandering person from needing to dine on the same meal twice in a week. If you are a Race in Group 1,1-a or 1-b, who subsists on nothing but these rations for at least 1 week, you are treated as being 1 rank higher for the purposes of jutsu skills. This benefit lasts until you eat a meal other than the rations or go for a full day without eating a day's worth.
ASARI TRAIL RATIONS - Group 2 races and Elves.
Price 400 ECUs; Weight 1 lb.
Asari favor soft trail bread made of oats mixed with other grains, berries, and nuts and sweetened with honey. They supplement this trail bread with dried fruits and nuts. If you are an Group 2 race or an elf who subsists on nothing but these rations for at least 1 week, you can hustle or make a forced march for an additional hour without ill effects, but cannot do both in the same day. This benefit lasts until you eat a meal other than the rations or go for a full day without eating a day's worth.
LUPINE TRAIL RATIONS - Group 4 races and Dwarves
Price 400 ECUs; Weight 1-1/2 lbs.
Lupine trail rations consist of smoked sausages and salted meat, rounded out with hard biscuits and dried vegetables. If you are a Group 4 race or a dwarf who subsists on nothing but these rations for at least 1 week,you receive a +2 bonus on checks and saves that benefit from the Endurance feat. This benefit lasts until you eat a meal other than the rations or go for a full day without eating a day's worth.
