Chef

Chefs know the value of a properly seasoned stew and can tell the difference between spices by sight, taste, scent, and even their texture. From the soldiers marching in the fields, to the warm haven of an inn, to the bowls of the largest keeps, to the homes of the common folk you know that food and need of food is what brings together everyone of every nation, religion, race, and creed. Food is your passion, it is your mission, it is your religion. 

What Flavor Are You?

Pun aside, chefs come in multiple varieties. Are you a gourmet chef who serves the social elite? Or a humble traveler whose talent is unknown? Choose which flavor suits you best.

Cooking Ingredients

Chefs use special ingredients to create dishes. You will need a Cooking Kit (costs 50 gold), and the required ingredients to craft anything with the Chef profession. Most ingredients can be purchased in town or harvested in the wild.

Cooking Ingredients	Material Quality	Suggested gold price per ingredient
Carrots, potatoes, corn, salt, pepper, eggs, butter	Common	5 gold
Durian fruit, enoki, fugu fish, midnight salmon	Rare	50 gold
Unicorn meat, deepsea lavafish, leedsichthys extract	Epic	150 gold

Harvesting Reagents

It takes approximately ten minutes to collect and store cooking ingredients. Harvesting plants or meat requires a DC 10 Dexterity check.

Crafting Time

Chefs must have a Cooking Kit and work, undisturbed, for 1 or more hours to make food and beverages. A Cooking Kit contains a small hot plate for cooking, but if the recipe you’re making requires an open flame, you’ll need flint and tinder and some firewood to make a campfire. All recipes require fresh water to create.

When you craft food, roll a D20 to determine how it turned out.

• On a Natural 1, your food is burnt, spoiled, or otherwise inedible and does not provide any benefit
• On a 2-5, your food tastes a bit off
• On a 6-10, your food tastes alright
• On an 11-15, your food tastes delicious
• On a 16-19, your food tastes absolutely marvelous
• On a Natural 20, your food is divine and its effect OR duration (DM discretion) is doubled
