Planetary Grids: Environments
Table of Contents [hide]

Planetary environments are categorised by the combination of the planet's climate (hot, temperate and cold) and type of atmosphere (toxic, breathable and absent/none). There is an additional category to the various combinations of the above, 'Gas Giant', which covers both the atmosphere and the climate.

The images you will see while ascending/descending to/from atmosphere on the various bodies can be viewed in the Planets Rules page.

1/ Planet Atmosphere Damage
The following table shows the amount of damage a character receives if unprotected in an hostile environment. This damage is only applied when you are outside and exposed to the elements, ie: not in a city. Upon reaching 0 HP an unprotected character will fall into unconsciousness and cease to receive environmental damage.



Planet Type Damage
Hot No Atmos 30%
Hot Toxic 15%
Hot Breathable 5%
Temperate Breathable None
Cold Breathable 5%
Cold Toxic 15%
Cold No Atmos 30%
Gas Giant 15%
Sun Dead*
Moon None
Asteroid 30%
Comet 30%
Blackhole Dead*

Environmental damage is taken on your current HP every 24 Hours.


Note
*See Sun & Black Holes Damage Rules.

2/ Protective Items

Note
Some of these items require other items to also be equipped before they will provide any protection (eg: A Thermal Survival Suit also requires a Thermal Survival Helmet).
