Description:

Some people have it, others don’t; although all characters have rudimentary cooking skills, the character with this skill is an accomplished cook. Often regarded as the fastest way to an adventurer’s stomach. With this skill, a character has what it takes to make a meal that makes an impression. Skill expenditure is only required only when attempting to prepare a truly magnificent meal worthy of a master chef (5SP per dish/food). If this skill is taken a second time the player character gains the ability to detect spoiled, polluted, or foul food. If taken a third time the player character can identify if food has been poisoned. Third rank also allows the character to be capable of making a meal that is so substantial that it gives the recipient a bonus 5 body (added to their maximum body) for the next 48 hours. A recipient can only reap the rewards once from a well-cooked meal in a 48-hour period. The chef must pay a 10SP expenditure per plate and is required to spend an hour in preparation of the meal, per plate.
