Food and Rest Rules (5e Variant Rule)

Food

Each character has a base Energy storage of 2*CON+6 and loses 2 Energy per 24 hours. Each day at 0 Energy gives an Exhaustion level. You can only eat 1 lb of food per short rest. Being over base Energy level gives disadvantage on DEX checks and saving throws.
