Survival

Skill

Terraforming can make the atmosphere on alien worlds (passably) breathable, but it will rarely make them earthlike. You might be able to breathe without a pressure suit on such worlds, though you can also expect to struggle against extreme heat and cold, sandstorms, acid rain, and other extreme weather. Roll for SURVIVAL when you’re in a hazardous planetside environment of some kind and need to figure out a way to stay alive.

Failure: You find no safe haven. Unless someone comes to your rescue, you're on borrowed time.

Success: You find a safe haven to weather the storm.

Stunts: For every extra you roll, choose one stunt applicable to the situation:

  • Give one to another PC in the same trouble as you.
  • Gain a +1 modification to a later skill roll relating to this one.
  • You impress someone.
