Variant Rule: Creature Type Ingredients
This optional rule changes the benefits a consumer gains from the ingredients used in a Gourmet Meal. During Meal Preparation when you use the Gourmet Meal
feature, choose ingredients from up to two different creature types instead of choosing from a creature ingredient’s traits or actions. The benefits granted by
each creature type are outlined under the “Creature Type Ingredients” section below.
Creature Type Ingredients
The ingredients used in crafting Gourmet Meals are presented in alphabetical order.
Aberration
The viable ingredients from an aberration vary but generally have a slimy
texture and require specialized cooking knowledge to safely use in a meal.
Amateur Culinarists have gone mad attempting to use such ingredients.
Nutritional Value. When the consumer takes psychic damage, they can use
a reaction to reduce it by 1d8. In addition, they can speak telepathically to
any creature within 30 feet of them, provided that creature also consumed
the same Gourmet Meal. The creature understands the consumer only if
the two share a language.
Digest. When the consumer deals damage to a creature within 20 feet of
them, they can deal an additional 3 psychic damage to the target.
Beast
Meats of various cuts often serve as a meal’s centerpiece, with different
qualities depending on the body part and animal it was harvested from. A
well-cooked meal with such ingredients can provide a juicy and tender
exterior with a smoky and savory taste.
Nutritional Value. The consumer gains a +1 bonus to Strength checks. This
bonus increases to +2 when you reach 9th level in this class and +3 at 15th
level.
Digest. As a bonus action, the consumer’s attack and damage rolls that use
Strength gain a +1 bonus until the start of their next turn. This bonus
increases to +2 when you reach 9th level in this class and +3 at 15th level.
Celestial
Few ingredients are more sinful than celestial meat. But how can mortals
resist if the taste is indescribably divine? An equally divine curse is often a
strong enough deterrent, but a motivated and skilled enough Culinarist can
make a soulful meal from such ingredients with enough prayer and
offerings.
Nutritional Value. When the consumer takes radiant damage, they can use a
reaction to reduce it by 1d8. In addition, the consumer gains a +3 bonus to
Charisma (Persuasion) checks.
Digest. As an action, the consumer casts cure wounds using your
Intelligence for the spellcasting ability of the spell. They can expend
additional uses to increase the spell’s level by one for each additional use
expended. Alternatively, they can use an action to expend two uses of
Digest to cast lesser restoration.
Construct
While common folks see oil and energy cores, a skilled Culinarist sees
sauce and a smoking catalyst. Gourmet meals with such ingredients tend
to have a bitter aftertaste but provide the perfect nutrients for focus and
mental clarity.
Nutritional Value. When the consumer misses with an attack roll or fails an
ability check, they can use their reaction to add a +2 bonus to the roll,
potentially turning the miss into a hit or the failed check into a success.
This bonus becomes a +3 when you reach 15th level in this class.
Digest. When the consumer makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving
throw and rolls below 10 on the d20 die, they can use a reaction to instead
get a 10.

It’s a Culinarist’s trade secret to be able to harvest, let alone cook,
elemental ingredients. The flavors it provides are as varied as the
elements; they can be as minty fresh as an air elemental or as hot and
spicy as a fire elemental. Earth elementals are great for pies.

Author’s Notes
Culinarist is Not a Word
No, it’s not a word, but I wanted to name it something akin to the Artillerist. The actual term is Culinarian, which felt a bit off for me, but feel free to use Culinarian
if that makes you happy.

Senshi Hated Magic

The character from Delicious in Dungeon is adamantly against the shortcuts provided by magic. I could’ve made another fighter subclass out of him, but I feel like
taking so much time with manual labor might not translate very well to an in-game experience. Hence, this subclass is “inspired by” Senshi, and the class fantasy
this enables is cooking magical beings and getting unique buffs from them.

Four Features at 3rd Level

This subclass breaks from tradition by having 4 features at 3rd level. The other official artificers have tool proficiency, subclass spells, and the main feature. The
reason the Culinarist has 4 is that I needed a feature that could harvest and store food ingredients and another feature to actually outline the rules surrounding
meal prep and consumption.

Isn’t Cooking Wisdom-Based?

Conventionally, cooking is a Wisdom-based activity since it concerns the senses, but I designed the Culinarists to integrate sciences, studies, and techniques into
the class fantasy.

I’m Not a Cook

I am not a cook; I don't know how to cook, and I would probably be a terrible cook. I think I'm pretty good at eating, though.

Pitfalls and Advice

Upkeep. Unfortunately, there’s a heavier burden on the DM if they allow this at their table. Players will have a tendency to optimize and will want to seek out
specific creatures to hunt and harvest for their benefit. There’s also the matter of ingredient upkeep for the Culinarist player and having to keep a healthy stock of
ingredients at all times.

Mutual Agreement. The first and most important advice for both DMs and prospective Culinarist players is to agree on how ingredients acquisition. Mutually agree
on whether every ingredient will have to be hunted in-game, whether hunting can be done between sessions, or if acquisition can be handwaved in the middle of
a session. Remember that you can have a session 0 to recalibrate with the table even while the campaign is already underway and that you can do so in a group
call or a chat group.

Handwave. My advice for the DM is to handwave or short-hand the process of hunting certain creatures if doing so would take too much time from a session.
Have the players make some checks or divide a certain amount of damage among the party to simulate the hunting process. Of course, it’s also sensible to
decline any request to hunt when the current location seems unreasonable for certain types of ingredients, like hunting for fey ingredients in the Shadowfell.

Between Sessions. DMs can also resolve ingredient hunting offline between sessions. This helps with upkeep for the Culinarist and avoids distractions mid-game.
The only downside is having fewer opportunities to do some worldbuilding since this happens outside of the table.

Signal Ahead. For Culinarist players, mention ahead of time that you want to get a specific type of ingredient so that the DM will have time to prepare for it in the
session or resolve it offline.

Dealing with Humanoids

If the idea of cannibalism makes anybody at the table uncomfortable, consider reflavoring humanoid ingredients to be herbs and spices unique to their culture, or
outright replacing the ingredients with any of other creature types as loot.
