Characters can live the better part of a month without food, but you won't last a week without water. Starvation and dehydration are just as life-threatening as armed combat. You can survive a full day without any food or water and not accrue penalties. Anything past that amount of time and your life begins to ebb away. You fight lethal Stamina Drain so long as you go without sustenance. The only way to remove these Death Marks is to locate food or water and rest for a full night.
The dehydrated condition (see below) causes Stamina Drain (DL 20; +1 every 12 hours; lethal). When you begin dying of thirst, all sorts of bodily processes begin breaking down. Once you reach stage 5 on the Knockout Track, you fall comatose. If no one comes to your aid and you gain six Death Marks, you succumb to dehydration and die, leaving behind a withered husk.
The starving condition (see below) causes Stamina Drain (DL 10; +1 every day; lethal). Without sufficient caloric intake, you begin to waste away, staring from sunken eyes and scratching the tight skin stretched over your protruding bones. Once you reach stage 5 on the Knockout Track, you fall comatose. If no one comes to your aid and you gain six Death Marks, you die of starvation.
