Refreshing Repose

You can choose to sustain yourself not by eating, but by spending your long rest in contact with soil. When you do so, small, think roots grow from your body and burrow into the ground. These roots shrivel once the long rest is over. In order for your to obtain sustenance from the ground, it needs to be soft oil in which your roots can burrow for your long rest.
