Adorable. Also terrifying. I have no doubt that Sigdi can be very dangerous if she wants to.

Does the DnD world have nutrition?

Probably, but I guess there's no reason in particular to think that if you can magically enhance a berry to have extra calories you could enhance it to have extra nutritional value.

Not really.  Magical sources of food, such as goodberry, tend to mention that they're fully nourishing.  The "simple fare" from Create Food is "rather bland", though.  (Prestidgitation can fix that!  If you feel like it.)

There are different standard prices for different kinds of meals, for roleplay purposes.  5th edition added some detail with the tiers of lifestyles for downtime.

Does losing an arm actually cost you any stats in DnD? Only played any DnD in video game form (Neverwinter Nights and whatnot), so genuinely don't know if it would affect a character negatively beyond what they equipment can equip or hold.

Just wondering, because from what we've seen I wouldn't be surprised is Durkon's mum turns out to be a surprisingly high level...

Also interesting to note that both mother and son view 'marriage' as only 'proper' when one has a 'baby', though Durkon's mum at least has been around the block enough time to know to back down on the assumption.

While there's no actual rule demanding stat penalties for losing a limb, it would be a prudent houserule.

Back in the day I think a GM I had said that you could not use 2 handed weapons without a massive penalty to hit and had to take strength checks at a -3 penalty.   It was probably a house rule though, and my character hadn't so much as lost an arm as had an arm transformed into a non-aggressive, yet uncooperative snake temporarily.

I guess we know Sigdi's alignment now: Momful Good.

I would houserule it as making it impossible to do tasks requiring 2 hands, such as using weapon and shield or weapons requiring 2 hand by design (for example bows).
It would also half effective strength value for strength based skill checks other than 1 handed weapon attacks. (But not strength saves.)

Not something that could be done in battle.

I guess that shooting a bow 1-handed would be technically possible in battle, but only by someone, who has trained for it, with specially adapted quiver. Without special training, there would be a high chance to fumble the arrow and drop it, without special quiver, it would take extra long to pull another arrow.

What if you have two people each with only one arm, could they use the bow if they cooperated?
