Less than 50% = lose 1d6 of constitution

-After a complete day without any food PC = lose 2pts of constitution

With less than 50% calories required = lose 1pt of constitution

*0 con = death (only 25% resurrection)

@After full day of consumption constitution regenerates d8 constitution

Bare minimum chart and affects are not written in stone, be forewarned, some days or places are hotter than others.
