A PC must eat one pound of food per day in order to subsist. They can go without food for a number of days equal to 3 + their Constitution modifier (minimum 1) before they
begin to starve. This day count is reset when the PC eats their fill for a day; otherwise, the PC advances one level of exhaustion at the end of each day beyond their limit.

Moderate advance one level of exhaustion, or two levels if they are already suffering from exhaustion.

1: Constitution represents a largely passive set of skills which have more to do with enduring than performing a specific action the PC can become proficient in. Therefore Constitution checks are more uncommon than other ability
checks and are usually made without adding a proficiency bonus, although situational bonuses may still apply. NOTE: An ability check is different from a saving throw; players can be proficient at Constitution saving throws.
2: A PC can only travel for eight hours a day before they risk becoming exhausted.
3: A PC requires one gallon of water per day, or two if the climate is harsh.

 Monster Statistics Encounter Building
You can use this process after youve already designed an encounter to determine its
Proficiency & Exp Value difficulty or to start an Encounter from scratch with a target difficulty in mind.
by Challenge Rating
1. Start by making a note of the Exp values that define the four difficulty categories for
Proficiency Exp Points your group. For each adventurer in the party refer to the Encounter Difficulty Exp per
CR
Bonus Value Character table, noting the exp values for each character in each category. Then for
0 2 0 or 10 each category add the exp values for each character in that category to determine
1/8 2 25 the difficulty thresholds for encounters.
1/4 2 50
1/2 2 100 2. Next, select each creature you want to include in your encounter. Add up their Exp
1 2 200 Values, which can be found in their stat block next to their Challenge Rating, to get
2 2 450 the encounters Exp Value.
3 2 700
