The wilderness is a harsh mistress, and those who venture too far from civilization without sufficient protection from the elements assume the risk of dying before they reach their destination. Whether it's extreme heat or extreme cold, characters subject to the weather must fight Stamina Drain. The only way to remove these Knockout Track penalties is to seek shelter and heat up or cool down your body.
The exposed condition (see below) causes Stamina Drain (DL 15; +1 every hour; lethal). Without the ability to regulate your body temperature, death comes quickly as hypothermia or heat stroke set in. Once you fail a fifth check and reach stage 5 on the Knockout Track, you fall comatose. If you remain unprotected from the extreme temperatures and you fail a subsequent check, you perish in the great outdoors.
