A creature needs an amount of food per day based on its size, as shown in the [[#Food Needs per Day]] table. **1 Day.** A creature that eats but consumes less than half the required food for a day must succeed on a DC 10 CON saving throw or gain 1 [[Exhaustion]] level at the day's end. **5 Days.** A creature that eats nothing for 5 days automatically gains 1 [[Exhaustion]] level at the end of the fifth day as well as an additional level at the end of each subsequent day without food. **Remove Exhaustion.** [[Exhaustion]] caused by malnutrition can't be removed until the creature eats the full amount of food required for a day. # Food Needs per Day | Size | Water | Size | Water | | ------ | --------- | ---------- | -------- | | Tiny | 1/4 Pound | Large | 4 Pound | | Small | 1 Pound | Huge | 16 Pound | | Medium | 1 Pound | Gargantuan | 64 Pound |
