Gourmand
Level 3Cook Monsters into Culinary Masterpieces
Gourmands travel the land in search of the perfect flavor. To this end, they scrounge up rare ingredients from far-off continents, hunt monsters for unique proteins, and tinker with their recipes wherever they travel.
Fine Cuisine
Your culinary experience grants you the following benefits.
Cook's Utensils
You gain proficiency with Cook's Utensils if you don't already have it.
Gentle Repose
You can cast Gentle Repose but only as a Ritual. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it.
Monster Meal
As part of a Long Rest, you can prepare and eat a special meal if you have ingredients and Cook's Utensils on hand. You can prepare enough food for a number of creatures equal to half your Vagabond level plus your Constitution modifier. A creature that eats the food gains Temporary Hit Points equal to one roll of your Battle Die plus your Constitution modifier without expending it.
If you add ingredients taken from a monster, a creature that eats the meal also gains a related benefit as shown on the Monster Meal table until it finishes a Long Rest. You can add up to three monster ingredients to a single meal and gain the benefits of each. Generally, the amount of ingredients you can harvest from a single monster's corpse is sufficient for one meal.

Carve [Maneuver]
Level 6When you hit a creature with an attack using a weapon or Unarmed Strike, you can expend two Battle Dice as a Bonus Action to attempt to butcher the target. Add the Battle Dice to the attack's damage roll. If the creature's type is listed on the Monster Meal table, you gain the related benefit for 1 hour.
Quick Snack
