Make Devour Food Less Strong
A harpy is an enemy that has a unique power. They are very rare mostly. These birdfolk appear in the Vaults, the Dungeon and in the Shoals only it is a common foe.
It is a brand that eats 10% of your rations a hit, hits twice a turn and the monster comes in packs of 5. So it's really strong, but since it's unique it's barely ever seen, the effect I mean, particularly early in the game.
Everyone knows they appear in Shoals. I saw a player lose 14/15 rations in a fight over six turns because the 10% is a chance, not a fixed amount. This was versus five harpies.
Make it less strong somehow. Maybe make it a fixed number. Food is common. It is not a problem mostly. If you're an Ogre or another dumb race it is a problem. Another case is if you use rods which make you hungry. Oh, if you're a bad player you might have low Spellcasting. Or make it more common so everyone knows about it and it is not a big shock.
