I suggest this strictly for people (LIKE ME) who always run out of food and HP and are far from towns with foes all around them.
I just can't manage money in this game. I made a new character in the update and it's like night and day, alone with no party members at level 1 is fair. But deeper in, the starvation dropping 180 HP when you only have 60 is just plain petty.
I suggest a teleport spell to quickly get to a town and get food. I can't even use the whore house to make money anymore or get far enough to do jobs to make money with starving and getting game overs.
