Starvation: The average human can last between 1 and 2 months without food. The RAW suggests 1 FP penalty for each meal you miss, which means after 3 days, the average person is down to 1 FP and close to comatose. This works for PCs, but it doesn't give you a way to simulate a society. However, below are some suggested effects for various specific deficiencies.

Mild Dehydration: Reduced Fatigue -2 [-6], Chronic Pain: Headaches (Mild, 1 hour duration on a 12 or less) [-5], Bad Temper [-10]

Severe Dehydration: Reduced Fatigue -5 [-15], Chronic Pain: Headaches (Severe, 2 hour duration on a 9 or less) [-10], Bad Temper [-10], Slow Riser [-5]

Iodine Deficiency (usually inland diets with not enough seafood): Unnatural Feature (Goiter) [-1], Appearance drops two levels

Anemia (iron deficiency): Reduced Fatigue -2 [-6], Bad Temper [-10], Compulsive Behavior (eat clay or soil) [-5]

Osteoporosis (calcium deficiency): Bad Back [-15], Fragile (for all crushing attacks that penetrate DR, roll vs HT or the limb becomes crippled) [-15]

Chronic zinc deficiency (diets high in plant matter over a long period of time): Bad Sight [-25], No Sense of Taste/Smell [-5], Absent-Mindedness [-15], Unnatural Features (lesions, hair loss) [-2], Ham-Fisted [-5]

Mild hyponatremia (salt deficiency): Nausea (approximate rules under Motion Sickness, only more severe) [-15], Chronic Pain: Headaches (Mild, 1 hour duration on a 12 or less) [-5], Unfit [-5]

Severe hyponatremia (salt deficiency): Nausea (approximate rules under Motion Sickness, only more severe) [-15], Chronic Pain: Headaches (Severe, 2 hour duration on a 9 or less) [-10], Unfit [-5], Seizures (Neurological Disorder, Mild to Severe) [-15 to -35]

Vitamin A defiency: Night Blindness [-10]

Beriberi (thiamine deficiency; the vitamin is easily had in fruits, milk, meats and green vegatables; beriberi is most common in countries where the staple food is polished white rice): Skinny [-5], Chronic Pain: painful limbs (Severe, constant, 9 or less) [-20]

Pellegra (niacin deficiency; this person may also suffer from Mild Dehydration and Hyponatremia): Bad Temper [-10], Insomnia [-10], Short Attention Span [-10], Dementia (treat as severe Delusion) [-15], Unnatural Feature (lesions) [-1], Appearance drops at least 1 level

Scurvy (vitamin C deficiency): Unnatural Feature (purple blotches) [-1], Wounded (wounds re-open or do not heal) [-5]. Chronic victims of scurvy will often lose teeth over time, and healed bone fractures may re-separate.

Rickets (vitamin D deficiency): Fragile (as Osteoporosis), reduced ST -2 or more [-20 or more], possibly Dwarfism (if chronic)
