 Meals offer some basic buffs such as Temporary HP. But cooking more specific meals will offer more unique and powerful buffs as well as sometimes some banes. The more powerful meal buffs are balanced by the rarity/ scarcity/ costly price of ingredients or preparation of such meals. Meals offer some basic buffs such as Temporary HP.

   *If you have access to the entire body of a monster ready to be cooked. The amount of food that can be prepared using one monster depends on the monster’s size. This is because usually it’s not the entirety of the monster’s body that produces the benefits the characters wish to acquire. For example, several people could be fed by cooking a young red dragon, but only one can eat the cooked fire-producing organ of the dragon. This rule is here to limit the buffs that the entire party can gain from cooking a monster, as well as add an additional layer of strategy. This way, the party will have to choose carefully who eats what.   *If you have access to the entire body of a monster ready to be cooked.

 **Amount:** The number of dishes that can be cooked depends on the size of the monster. One must remember that it’s not the entirety of the body of a monster that produces the desired magical effect, but only one or a few organs. Therefore, even creatures that are considered Huge only produce four servings of food. A creature of a Gargantuan size could probably produce enough Monster Dishes to feed an entire town or more because of their extreme rarity and the campaign-boss nature of these creatures. So, we leave the specifics of how many Monster Dishes (if any at all) can be cooked to the GM. **Amount:** The number of dishes that can be cooked depends on the size of the monster.

 +  ***Additional Ingredients:** The Chef has the option to add a specific monster Component/Ingredient (Found in the References Bellow) which will add new buffs and/or banes to the meal. __This process increases the DC of cooking a meal by 2__.
  
-**Cooking a Dish:** The process of cooking a dish can start once the monster has been defeated, and the players have access to a kitchen. We recommend that the GM tell the players the DC they’ll have to beat. Cooking a dish is done in two parts. A maximum of four players can work together to cook, three in Part 1 and one in Part 2. +**Cooking a Dish:** The process of cooking a dish can start once the ingredients have been obtained and the players have access to a kitchen.

 **Part 1:** Up to three players must explain how their character helps with the cooking process—taking care of the fire, cutting the ingredients, mixing, watching the fire to ensure an even heat distribution, etc. The GM then asks each character to make an ability check (d20 + ability score modifier), using the ability score that works best with the task they have described. More than three players can roleplay their participation in the cooking process, but only three may make ability checks. \\ **Part 1:** Up to three players must explain how their character helps with the cooking process—taking care of the fire, cutting the ingredients, mixing, watching the fire to ensure an even heat distribution, etc. The GM then asks each character to make an ability check (d20 + ability score modifier), using the ability score that works best with the task they have described.

 +However, The Head Chef can take complete control of the cooking and conduct all the skill checks themselves if they wish for greater control. A Player with the **Chef Feat** Gains advantage on all checks needed for part 1.
  
 If a player asks, “If I wanted to do X, what kind of check would that be?” we suggest you tell them and help them find an action that would suit their individual strengths. The way to calculate the DC for these tasks is also simple: (10 + CR of Monster - PC’s level) On a success, the overall Skill Check DC is reduced by 3; on a failure, it increases by 1. A critical success reduces the overall Skill Check DC by 6, If a player asks, “If I wanted to do X, what kind of check would that be?” we suggest you tell them and help them find an action that would suit their individual strengths.
