While looking through the ruleset, I noticed that, while Thirsty students can drink from the water, dehydrated students cannot. I’d like to think that dehydrated students are also Thirsty, but this seems better…

Replace the dynastic rule “Thirst” with the following text:

All Students have a Thirst level, which can be any whole number. New Students start with 0 Thirst. Whenever a Student takes an action defined as “Strenuous”, eir Thirst level increases by 1.

A Student with more than 5 Thirst is said to be Thristy. A Student with more than 10 Thirst is said to be Dehydrated. Any student with 20 or more Thirst has died from dehydration, and is added to the Lost List.

Any Thirsty or Dehydrated student may take a drink from the local water suppy; this subtracts 10 from eir Thirst, to a minimum of 0, but decreases eir Sanity by 1.
