Survival and Exposure rule

[mikuel]

The exposure rules state that exposure starts usually after CON hours.

So if I had a 10 in CON I could sleep in below freezing weather for 9 hours with no effect. Just with suitable clothing. And if I make my roll, 9 more hours with no effect. Even if I fail, I only have 1 level of fatigue.

This don't seem right. Am I missing something?

Suitable clothing for below freezing weather would be the equivalent of

Inuit outdoor clothing. And take a look at the exposure rates depending

on the temperature, the wind speed and thelike, see page 129.

Hey, BRP is deadly enough as it is. Take every break you can get!

I guess. I wonder where they get this information.

But that's my point.

Usually its a mixture of research and personal experience. Wherever we can, we look into what's realistic rather than just making stuff up. There's plenty of documentation on survival rates, ambient temperatures, exposure effects, wind-chill and so on.

Plus, Pete lives in the far north of Sweden where it gets exceedingly cold. The town he lives in is a garrison, lots of very good, accurate, local source material.

Just a thought, and I'm way out on a limb here system wise, but maybe the time for exposure could be adjusted by the temperature? Something like -1 CON per 10 degrees below zero?
