Foraging

World of Darkness - Rulebook

Foraging for food and water is an extended action. Each roll represents an hour of diligent work. Five successes are required to gather enough food and water to sustain one person for a single day. One success still provides some amount of food and water, but fewer than five means that your character becomes progressively malnourished and vulnerable to deprivation (p. 175) and disease (p. 176).

Roll Results

Success: Your character is on his way to gathering sufficient food to fulfill his needs for the day (apply successes to the total needed).
Exceptional Success: Your character finds a small windfall of food or water that fulfills his daily needs - and even provides some sustenance for the following day.
