Food/Drink/Drugs
The food/drink system in Wayfar1444 is unlike the stereotypical mechanics seen in many games- your 'hunger' and 'thirst' values act as a currency which can be spent to consume substances which provide some kind of benefit.
Often, consuming a food or drink will provide benefits in the form of a status effect which provides an increase to your maximum dice pools or maximum hp. These benefits can make the difference between falling in a tough fight and escaping to live another day, don't underestimate the value of that strip of ez-cheese protein!
As an example, most food provide the 'Nourished' status effect which provides periodic dice recovery and a bonus to maximum hp and maximum dice pools for all dice.
Some drinks and drugs provide instant recovery of dice which can also turn the tables of a difficult fight as well as expedite recovery after a taxing fight, some drugs also provide modifiers to maximum dice pools on top of the immediate dice recovery.
