The Acid Test: Dietary Adaptations

Bonus roll charts and tips for restricted-diet chef-adventurers

Every formula in the book leans on acid to do its work, and most of the swaps below keep that mechanism intact. Where a diet takes away the thing that makes the formula work (milk protein for the cheeses, molten sugar for the candy rim), we say so plainly and offer the nearest honest workaround.

House rule for adaptation rolls. A swap you choose from one of these charts scores like an enhancement (1 point). A swap you roll for scores like a power-up (2 points). Re-rolls to dodge an allergen or a restricted ingredient are free; that is not chickening out, that is knowing your party.

Who's at the table?

Pick one or more diets. Each formula will show how it fares as written and what to swap.

The formulas

Bonus roll charts

Each chart replaces one component in one or more formulas. Roll the die, or choose. Tags mark which diets a roll fits; a roll with no tag fits everything the chart is for.

Diet symbols are guidance, not certification. Read labels, ask your table, and when in doubt, roll again.
