When using the L3 Barbarian Feast ability, the barbarian can “consume twice as much food or drink during camp to insulate himself from the hungry and thirsty condition.” Now, the questions:
-
Can he only do this during camp? Or can he feast during the adventure phase?
-
My first thought on this was that it might be a good way to prolong the fresh condition. However, if eating while you’re not hungry/thirsty serves no purpose, you need to be hungry/thirsty to eat, which would cancel out the fresh. Now, the only advantage I can see to this is that eating twice as much might possibly free up a small amount of room in inventory. (If he is carrying two fresh rations and feasts on both, it empties a slot, where if he just ate one now and one later, it wouldn’t be freed until then.)
-
I swear I had a third question, but I’ve lost it now. I’ll add it later if I think of it.
Otherwise, are there other advantages to this ability that I might be missing? (Wouldn’t be the first time.)
