Suffocation

• You can attempt to hokd your breath to conserve oxygen for a number of minutes equal to your Toughness Attribute
• If you attempt to hold you breath during combat or any other Round-based encounter, you can do so for a number of Rounds equal to double your Toughness Attribute
• If you reach the end of either of these times without breathing, you fall unconscious
• You must pass a DN 3 Toughness Attribute Test every minnute or Round you hold your breath
• If you fail the Test, you suffer 1d3 Shock damage
• If suffocation causes you to suffer more Shock than your maximum, you fall unconscious
• If you don not breathe oxygen before the allocated time runs out, then you automatically fall unconscious, even if you do not exceed your Maximum Shock
• If you are deprived of oxygen and unconscious, you die after a number of Rounds equal to your Toughness Attribute

Electricity

Electricity Intensity	Damage	Toughness Test DN
Light	7 + 1 ED; Agonising	3
Moderate	12 + 2 ED; Agonising	5
Intense	17 + 3 ED; Agonising	7

• Every Wound inflicted by an Agonising weapon also inflicts 1 Shock
• After resolving the effects of the damage, you must then make a Toughness Attribute Test
• If you fail, you are Restrained for one Round and knocked Prone on a Complication
• If you pass, the electrical charge dissipates and you may act normally

Extreme Heat and Cold

• When you find yourself exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures, you must pass a Toughness Attribute Test with a DN determined by the GM
• During narrative time, you make a Test every hour
• During combat time, you make a Toughness Test after a number of Rounds equal to your Toughness
• If you fail the Toughness Test, you become Exhausted (p.199) until you Regroup or seek Respite (p.196)

Falling

• When you fall a distance of 5 metres or more you suffer falling damage
• You suffer 1 Mortal Wound, plus 1d3 Mortal Wounds for every extra 5 metres you fall

Fire

• You must make an Athletics (S) Test every Round you are exposed to a hazard that could set you On Fire
• The GM determines the DN of this Test
• If you fail, you’re On Fire
• If you take a Wound from a weapon with the Inflict (On Fire) Trait, you are On Fire
• Anything that doesn’t have an Agility Attribute automatically passes Agility Attribute Test to avoid being ignited or to put out a fire

Radiation

• Without the correct equipment, a high DN Survival Test (minimum 9) is required to detect any source of radiation
• You must immediately take a Toughness Attribute Test whenever exposed to radiation, which repeats every Turn you are exposed
• The GM decides on the DN – it should never be easy
• If you fail the Test, the results are severe:
• You take 1d3 Mortal Wounds
• You take 1d6 Shock damage
• You are Staggered for 1 Round
• Whenever you are exposed to radiation, the GM may also call for a Corruption Test

Rad Poison

• If you are exposed to radiation for a significant time, or a particularly abundant source, you may contract rad poisoning
• The GM should use the following table to select an intensity and apply the effects listed

Intensity	Damage	Toughness Test DN
Light	1 Mortal Wound	3
Moderate	1d3 Mortal Wounds	5
Intense	1d6 Mortal Wounds	7
