== Limitations ==
Substitution (-50%): You can try to consume a food or fuel similar to the one you require. This requires a HT roll, and a failure means your HT attribute drops by one until you receive appropriate medical or mechanical attention. Critical failure can mean an incapacitating reaction--a severe immune response, engine failure, etc. Basic Set: Characters, p.151
Those without this limitation derive no sustenance and must still make the HT roll, with success being failure and failure being a critical failure.
A player character or NPC will probably know this in advance.
