Cooking is a hallowed art of combining food and fire, the two grandest things in the universe. Nearly any sentient culture will profess a deep love of their own particular style of cooking, recipes that embody the spirits of their homeland and utilize the natural flora and fauna they're most familiar with. Even the most spartan of cultures recognize the importance of the nutrition and morale derived from a good meal, and even the most stalwart warrior, ultimately, runs on food.
Cooking takes place in two basic formats:
one can cook a nice sit down meal for any number of people, a Banquet, or create individual servings of shelf-stable, ready to eat food, a Ration. Regardless of which is consumed, a person can only derive one food-based bonus at a time; Eating a ration while under the effect of a banquet or another ration replaces the effect. This applies even if the new food is an instant effect and the old one is persistant (IE; healing food is eaten while gaining a strength bonus from another food. The strength bonus will disappear and the character will be healed), but not in the reverse order (You won't just UNHEAL because you snapped into a Slim Jim).
A Banquet affects the entire party for the duration of a mission. To prepare a banquet you must spend the amount mentioned below in Credits, times the number of people you're feeding and pick a Main Course, which determines the effect of the entire meal.
Banquets can only be prepared in relative peace, and the chef must have at least a few hours warning before the mission is to take place.
A Ration is sized for a single person and can be eaten any time out of battle. This takes a bit of time, and it is polite to assume that you can only have one meal between each fight; Particularly canny enemies can and will jump you mid-meal for a surprise attack.
As before, you select a particular type of main course from the table below.
