Waybread 2-25

Sold in fist-sized lumps, waybread is a bittersweet mixture of dried and ground cave mushrooms, fermented tea and a handful of herbs for additional flavor. Waybread derives its name from its doughy texture and its ability to stave off hunger while keeping the consumer alert and awake. Popular among holdouts, watchmen and bandits, who pinch pieces off the main lump, roll them into pellets for chewing, and spit out the juices. A character who consumes a pellet of waybread recovers from all strain and adds AA to all Perception and Vigilance checks until the end of the scene or encounter. However, at the end of the scene or encounter, they suffer strain equal to half their Strain Threshold. Waybread can only be used once per encounter.
