“Food for all”[edit]
“While slashes, arrows and fireballs fly. You can smell the scent of meat that prevails with that of blood and burning, everyone stops to smell the aroma, to then find a being sitting, holding a pan, while cooking a steak, all united in a circle around him I wait hypnotized for the end of the preparation... and WALA! A ready meal that recovers the companions, but does not make the enemies feel so good..."
The Battle Chef[edit]
Since the dawn of time the cook is a very important but extremely underrated figure, not this time. A support class, to be precise, a healer, who prepares quick and/or complex meals, to heal/support companions and create poisoned meals for enemies. These dishes can be created by using elements of any type, starting from animal meat, mushrooms, aromatic herbs, etc.... Of course, it is not thought that a cook is useful in battle, but your presence and the smell, of the liquorices you carry with you, will make everything easier and tastier, your urine is not important, you just need to know how to cook well.
Battle Chef Creation[edit]
To create a Battle Chef you have to think of someone who loves food more than anything else in the world, the rest is not important. You can be a simple cook who has decided to travel and discover the world, or an assassin who loves to kill with food, in itself you can have fun imagining any event. The possible backgrounds are varied, such as the obvious cook, the hermit, foreigner, sailor, etc ... For the style of play it is recommended to stay on the back lines, try to never stand in front of the enemy and above all use your imagination to defend yourself, also because, for 3/4 of the time you are cooking.

Class Feature[edit]
The class includes a basic set of pots and pans, or whatever cooking utensils you prefer. Compare this to an "arcane focus" (e.g. a wizard or sorcerer), without it or any cooking utensils (even just passing off a table as a cutting board), you won't be able to use your skills.

Like any chef, you'll have your own "Cookbook", where you can write down recipes with any ingredients you choose.
Attentive student[edit]
You'll have an advantage on Perception rolls, to recognize weak spots and possible cooking methods, along with details on what can be eaten against the creatures. You'll also have an advantage on Survival rolls to handle them; below is a list of the various ingredients.
