You are an outback cook, a survival expert who has learned from painstaking trial and error how to cook up the most delectable bits of just about any monster you come across. You are as rugged as your meals are delicious, and your time camping out with only your wits and culinary skills to rely on has given you a unique perspective on life. Outback cooks have a motto: “Your next meal could be your last, so it might as well be tasty!” Whether you’re a thrill-seeker who enjoys the taste of danger, a culinary rogue bored by the tepid offerings in your home city, or simply someone who does what’s needed to endure the Bellowing Wilds, you know no meal can be taken for granted.
Campout Cuisine As an outback cook, you have experience using many rare and unusual ingredients while braving both the figurative and literal frontiers of gourmet cooking. While traveling in the wilderness, you can always tell whether or not wild creatures, plants, or berries you find are edible (decided by the GM). You can also use parts of the corpse of any aberration, beast, dragon, monstrosity, ooze, or plant that hasn’t been dead for more than a day as ingredients and can make meals out of them, provided you have access to cook’s utensils. Creatures that spend at least one hour eating the dish you cook gain temporary hit points equal to your character level. A creature can only benefit from this feature once per day. Bon appetit! From the Stomach to the Heart Your culinary explorations have taught you how to fine-tune your meals to please audiences with different preferences. When you cook a meal for people, provided you have the ingredients you need, the people who eat your food are inclined to enjoy it and admire you.
Outback cooks enjoy traveling worldwide to learn cooking techniques and develop special meals. They meet people from countless different backgrounds, shaping their choice of cuisine and outlook on the world.
