As the subject. I just noticed that it doesn't specifically say it negates the need to eat and drink like it used to in v3.5. It only goes on about needing less sleep.

To me, "life-sustaining nourishment" covers food at the least. Water is easy to include there too considering that Create Food and Water is the prerequisite spell.

Actually, I'd say it expands it some. Not just food and water, but nourishment. So a dhampir would not feel blood cravings, possibly even vampires could get by without blood, any creature with an unusual dietary need would be satisfied by it.

While this one seems appropriate, one of the original SRD developers has indicated that the prerequisite spells were kinda selected on a very loose relationship. Unless emulating a spell, they shoul probably be taken with a fairly healthy dose of abstraction in terms of drawing relationships between cause and effect.
