You can even hallucinate, causing you to
act irrationally – details are up to the GM
to decide. Some say that when you are
close to freezing to death, you feel a strong
burning sensation that can make you tear
your clothes off.
You must keep rolling ENDURANCE at the
same interval, and with the same effect if
you fail. If your Strength is Broken while
you are COLD, you die the next time you
have to roll.
You cannot recover Strength or Wits.
Only after you have warmed up again, if
only by a campfire, are you able to recover
those attributes.

Extra protection, like a blanket, can give you
Gear Dice to roll. If you fail your roll, you
become COLD. Being COLD has several effects:
✥✥
You immediately take 1 point of damage
to both your Strength and Wits – as the
cold seeps into your body and makes the
blood run slower to your brain, you are
unable to think clearly.
FEAR
Many horrifying beasts lurk in the shadows of
the Forbidden Lands. Such creatures, many
of which can be found in the Bestiary in the
Gamemaster’s Guide, can perform so-called
fear attacks. Fear attacks can also be triggered
by magic and other terrifying experiences.
A fear attack is rolled with a number of
Base Dice. Each x rolled causes 1 point of
damage to Wits. All fear attacks have NEAR
range, unless stated otherwise. Some fear
attacks target a single victim, while others
affect everyone within range.
