[DF] Turning bodies to loot

That bases things off the dice of damage the creature's most powerful attack does, but for creatures without a particularly high-damage attack - like a rust monster - you might have to estimate. Basing things off of Combat Effectiveness Rating (It's a Threat!, Pyramid #3/77) may actually be more appropriate, as a foe with good defense may be just as valuable as one with good offense (and one with both may be more valuable). I seem to recall there being some CER-to-loot conversion ratios, but I can't find them with a quick search.

Now these are helpful comments, and exactly for what I was looking! Especially page 13 of DF8. I'll remember that the next time the party fox-man ranger insists on using every part of the animal he killed for food.

As for rations, well, I had better lose weight before my family finds out how tasty I am! (Luckily, I'm by far the smallest person in my gaming group, so they won't kill me and eat me.) If I assume you get 1 meal for every 4 pounds of weight (remember, DF uses 2 lbs. for a meal of rations), I get ST cubed, divided by 32. Still a little wonky to work out at the table.
