| Okay so I know you suffer negatives and even damage rolls due to exposure depending on the environment - but do we have any actual listings on where to find numbers for this? |

I checked Rules of Engagement, GG8: Scouts and the Planets Collection, and the only rules for environment causing damage were for vacuum. Is there anything in particular you are looking for, or just in general?

General basically -
I'm actually creating a new race and wanted them to have the equivalent of hot/dry/cold vulnerability like d&d - but since I cant just say they take twice as much from exposure or something - I'll have to give a full write up in their description.
Was hoping it wasn't necessary and there were official environment rules I could use. |

Start with a base damage of 1D, then increase it by 1D for every hour / day / whatever of exposure. Adjust as needed. The character will be okay at first, but gradually get worse and worse until the environmental condition kills them or is removed.

That is one of the few things i felt D6 was lacking. Most other game systems did have damage 'ratings' for what environmental conditions were such as too hot or too cold..

Well they at least seconded your idea in gg8 neill - is that where you got the idea?
Also where did you find the vacuum rules?
I thinking of making somes rules for exposure - based off terrain and environment examples in gg8. |

I may have, but my first use of it was a long time ago when I tried to make stats for a Predator, for when they lose their face mask. I didn't even see it in GG8 when I just looked.

Pretty sure they were in the Planets Collection, in the planet design system, under Atmosphere type.
