General Rules: Feats - Cast-Iron Stomach

Cast-Iron Stomach [General] (adapted from the Seafarer's Handbook)
You can consume the most unpleasant fare without so much as a second thought.
   Prerequisite: Constitution 13+.
   Benefit: You derive nourishment from spoiled food and can avoid dehydration by drinking seawater with few ill effects. By subsisting on these unusual provisions, you double the amount of time you can go without fresh food and water.
   Normal: A character without this feat can go without food for three days, after which time he must make a Constitution check (DC 10 + 1 for each previous check) or take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. A character without this feat can go without fresh water for one day plus a number of hours equal to his Constitution score after which he must make Constitution checks (DC 10 + 1 for each previous check) or take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. These checks must be repeated once every day or hour (as applicable) until the character can consume some food or fresh water.
   Special: For this feat to be useful, you must have access to formerly edible foods and a supply of saltwater. otherwise, you are just as vulnerable to starvation and dehydration as any other character.
