Cost: [2/lvl]

Reduced Consumption (B80) is a mundane physical Advantage that allows you to go for a long time without food and water, though you still need them (contrast with Doesn't Eat or Drink).

  1. Reduced Consumption 1 (2 points): 2/3 as much
  2. Reduced Consumption 2 (4 points): 1/3 as much
  3. Reduced Consumption 3 (6 points): 5% as much
  4. Reduced Consumption 4 (8 points): 1% as much

Decreased Consumption is a possible alternate name, which emulates the naming structure of the Increased Consumption advantage.[1]

For Fuel Supply characters--such as machines--this multiplies Endurance.

Cast-Iron Stomach[]

Cast-Iron stomach is a (-50%) Limitation on Reduced Consumption--instead of simply eating less, this character can eat much worse foods.[2] Each level gives a +1 to resist food-borne illness. This is a common trait among carrion- and garbage-eating creatures, such as vultures, rats, and ghouls. Note that eating garbage in front of people often counts as a serious Odious Personal Habit.
