This, of course, is all a little bit of a<br />

moot point, as time spent counting Calories<br />

is better applied elsewhere. For this reason<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Embers</strong> uses an abstract<br />

method for the <strong>Dragon</strong>’s food consumption<br />

process.<br />

250 Calories roll into one tidy<br />

Caloric point, used with the Furnace chart to<br />

determine when Breath is rewarded. How<br />

do you determine how many Caloric points<br />

a meal provides? For regular foods it’s<br />

incredibly easy. Ask the player to rate how<br />

full her character would feel after a meal<br />

like that (provided she was still mortal) on a<br />

scale from 1 to 5 (with 5 being nauseously<br />

stuffed). <strong>The</strong> resulting number is how many<br />

Caloric points are rewarded. When it comes<br />

to alternative fuels, consult the chart at the<br />

bottom of this page.<br />

You may have noticed that minimum<br />

ratings are provided for these consumables.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’re simply harder to eat that regular<br />

food. All listed requirements (except for<br />

Furnace) increase by one each time the<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong> partakes in that source in a day.<br />

Continuous consumption eventually leads to<br />

nausea and bloating, especially with<br />

substances not intended for ingestion. Fuels<br />

that have a higher Composure minimum are<br />

more difficult to eat due to taste or smell.<br />

Foods with a higher Stamina minimum are<br />

harder to digest and in those of less sturdy<br />

build would likely cause internal damage.<br />
