Editing Temperature (section)

=How Temperature Affects You=

Part of survival is learning to weather the cold. Common sense will actually take you pretty far on its own: it’s colder at night, heat sources are warm, and dressing appropriately makes a big difference.

But venturing out into the wasteland means you’ll inevitably find yourself exposed: <font color="#DAA520">Spending too much time in Chilly, Cold, or Freezing conditions introduces a risk of illness.</font> The colder it is, the higher the risk.

A brief chill won’t do much harm, but prolonged exposure can eventually make your character sick. <font color="#DAA520">Warmth, on the other hand, promotes recovery, as injuries and illnesses heal more quickly when your character is Comfortable, Warm, or Hot.</font> Staying out of the cold gives your body the best chance to recover.


Your <font color="#DAA520">Character's Temperature</font> is calculated by comparing the current Ambient Temperature to your total Cold Resistance.<br>This includes:

*<font color="#DAA520">Equipment</font> that provides cold resistance
*<font color="#DAA520">Skill:</font> [[Cold Tolerance]]
*<font color="#DAA520">Temporary Effects</font> from food, drinks, abilities, or buffs


<font color="#DAA520">Example:</font> If you're in an area with an ambient temperature of -4, and you have 100 Cold Resistance (+10 Cold Resistance) and +30 Cold Resistance from gear, your total Cold Resistance is 40.

40 ÷ 10 = 4
-4 + 4 = 4

Your character temperature would be 1, or Comfortable.
