Cooking and Use Poison and Making Fish Cookable

Unread post by kitteninablender »

Make the fish we catch cookable in the Campfire, same as it is with Bear Meat and such, and then allow the cooked food to function like potions of various spells based upon the type of fish.

For example: If you catch a Barracuda, it could actually become a dose of Poison because Barracuda are poisonous. Same with Blowfish, etc.

You could feasibly use either Survival or Knowledge (Nature), whichever is better, for your "Cooking" Skill. And a higher result produces a better potion.

For example: If you "Fumble" the roll, it could accidentally create Poisonous potions. But if you have the Use Poison feat, such as a Blackguard or An Assassin, you can never ACCIDENTALLY create Poisonous potions.

Also, if you have the Use Poison Feat, you should be able to CHOOSE to create poisonous potions, just as you can intentionally poison potions that actually exist.

I believe it should be the same with all Food. I believe that the Feat "Use Poison" should be a clickable Feat you can put in the sidebar. When you click it, it "Toggles" your poison making into it's "On" position.

Then, while this "Poison" mode is active, any food you cook from then on will be poisoned. And you may use Craft Alchemy to set the DC of your Venom, gaining an automatic +2 to the DC merely by having it.

It saves the step of having to create the food, THEN poison it, THEN have poison on hand, etc. Essentially you are making your OWN.

Thoughts, ideas?

Does it work exactly the same as the meat cooking? Same output?

FYI, having fish in inventory, starting fire, opening fire -> no cooking option
