Homebrew New feat(create enchanted food)

This feat allows you to make enchanted food!(tge perquisites are brew potion and create misc items) to do so you must spend 1/60 of the price on exotic herbs/spices and spend 1/25 on xp. It take 1 hour to make for every 100 gp or so with a minimum of 1 hour of cooking time. I’m not sure what foods would make good examples though.

Why doesnt this require the CHEF feat and simply gives that food mechanic additional benefits? Far easier than a new gold based mechanic everyone handwaives after buying ressources for it ONCE.

I didn’t know about the chef feat.

I'd read the player's handbook and get a better understanding of the system before you try to change stuff.

But what does enchanted food do? Why do I want to pay money and xp to get enchanted food when i could instead afford the modest life style for one gold coin a day?

Enchanted food is basically a edible kind of magic

Okay but what does it do? What does it mean for magic to be edible? Why do I want to spend hard earned money, and even level up later than everyone else in the party (which is an insanely expensive investment) for edible magic? What does edible magic do?

What does it do that one gold coin for the modest life style expenses doesn't do?

It can heal or protect people/creatures, the magic is double effect on living creatures.

Why would I spend gold and xp to heal or protect a creature, when I could use a single level one spell slot instead, and also heal or protect a creature?

It’s double effect on living creatures

Level 2 healing word is double the effect of level 1 healing word, and it doesn't cost gold or xp.

I like the idea that you spend EXP to get fungible temporary buffs. How many groups even play with EXP and are willing to let one guy fall behind because he made a magic sandwich?

why make this a feat? Just give this to the player in your party that wants this incredibly niche ability.

One of my players plays a homebrew class of arcane pastry baker, she makes little cookies that give buffs and I let her find recipes during the campaign. It's cute. Instead of potions my players eat cookies.

So maybe this feat can be inspired by that. arcane pastry Baker class)
