EXPOSURE RULES

In recognition to the dangers of exposure, the GM should implement the following rules when a character finds him or herself trapped without survival equipment in hazardous environments. The listing gives a general rule base first, followed by rules per terrain type, which can be used with the GM's discretion.

General Exposure Rules

The following table lists the appropriate affects of exposure as a function of time spent unprotected. A GM should assign an Exposure Class (ExC) to signify the severity of the situation. The exposure class for, say, a gentle rain would be on the order of 1, for a monsoon it might be ten. The exposure class can then act as the Damage Class of the exposure. A modification chart giving adjustments for the Exposure Table is also given below.

Reading the table:

Time Exposed	CON Roll Mod.	Recovery Mode	Effects
5 Minutes	Normal	Normal, rest for (20-CON score) in phases	Per type
Hour	-1/2 per EC over 2	Rest for equal time	Per type
5 Hours	-1 per EC over 2	Rest in shelter for equal time	Per type and exhaustion
Day	-1 1/2 per EC over 2	Only with AID in shelter for equal time	Per type and exhaustion
5 Days	-1 per EC	Only with AID in shelter for equal time	Per type and exhaustion
Week	-1 1/2 per EC	Only with AID in shelter for equal time and CON roll	Per type and exhaustion
Month	-2 per EC	Only with AID in shelter for equal time and CON roll	Per type and exhaustion

Note: The CON modifier is only applied to those who are fully EXPOSED to the element. Normal protection such as clothing and tents may be sufficient for ECs below ExC 4, but beyond that special equipment is needed. Round down when 1/2 values are encountered.

Any exposure after a month may be treated as if the body has readily adapted, taking no more than Monthly damage over extended periods.

Exposure Class (DC)	Damage Type	Example
1	Normal	Light rain, grassland terrain, temperatures near 70 F
2	Normal	Rain, snow, mud, scrubland, windy conditions
3	NND Normal	Sheet rain, temperature +/- 25F of normal, rough terrain, light hail, low swamp, vegetated desert, harsh winds
4	NND Normal	Storm, blizzard, dry conditions, small hailstorm, rainforest
5	NND Normal	Strong storm, extreme heat or cold, infectious disease area, quicksand, mild background radiation, high swamp, desert
6	Killing	Severe storm, dehydrating conditions, freezing conditions, airborne disease zone, cliff region, background radiation, barren desert/wasteland
7	Killing	Lightning, temperature extreme, biohazard area, medium background radiation, large hailstorm
8	Killing	High background radiation
9	NND Killing	Concentrated biohazard, very high background radiation, scorching heat
10	NND Killing	Radioactive slagpile, hurricane force, area of rampant disease

MAJOR BASES

Mutant Safe Zones are denoted by (MSZ). The residents who know about this status of their base keep very quiet about it due to the violent reactions of some Humans, namely the Anti-Mutant League (AML). Mutants are generally not welcomed in Human society, and since they are in fact humans, they most try to blend in with their "kind" as much as possible. The MSZ organizers have to be rooted out, they won’t normally approach mutants for fear of being revealed and destroyed. Data about the whereabouts of such areas is highly valued to the AML leaders.

Dune City (MSZ)

If one city can claim to be the hope of civilization, it would be Dune City (DC). The populous City is growing in leaps and bounds and it's leader, Alcan Heyz, plans on keeping things that way. The City boasts a university of sorts for Humans overseen by the Scholars themselves. The Scholar's Library is the most extensive collection of literature known throughout the Wastelands. The City itself is relatively immense, just the right place for one to get lost among the crowd. Law is kept by the elite Peacekeepers who are organized, armed and efficient. Among the Peacekeeper ranks are Psychers who mentally probe each newcomer as they enter through the Trade Gate. The City is also the headquarters for Troll slavers under N'Gok, who is given the responsibility of punishing criminals, illegal activity will most likely result in slavery or death. The City has two public restaurants and two hotels where the weary traveler may stay. Dune City is second only to Trademajor in terms of commerce. The locals will be more than a little agitated if this is brought to their knowledge, these two cities have somewhat of a rivalry going and the locals are quite fond of saying: "If you can't find it in Dune City, then it probably isn't for sale…"

Location:	Northern Wastelands west of the Ash Faults and south of the Crimson Forest
Leader(s):	Alcan Heyz (Human)
Government:	Democratic with Police State leanings
Population:	1700 transients, 2800 residents
Society:	Capitalist
Tech Level:	High, government has access to Advanced and Ultra equipment and uses it regularly in keeping the peace.
Power:	Electricity fueled by both natural gas and fossil fuels
Interests:	Trade and information, education of humans
Rumors:	The mutant rebel called "The Liberator" operates from within Dune City The Scholars will protect their Tomes of Knowledge at ALL costs, even if it means assassination. Alcan Heyz is a member of the Mutant Liberation Front.

Ferro (MSZ)

This crude militant barrack site is well organized if not state-of-the-art. Ironjaw keeps a close watch on any non-mutants visiting his camp. He's not outwardly aggressive and it is possible to be his guest if you are not "gifted", but he doesn't guarantee that the stay will be a pleasant one. The city walls of Ferro are stacked flat stones surrounded by a smattering of steel plating that arch upward at no less than 80^o relative to the hard packed ground. The buildings are built with the same shale like stones packed together with natural clay or mortar. Buildings and the outer perimeter are fortified with sandbags and barbed wire. Some sporadic vegetation sprouts here and there within the town itself, mostly of the cactus and weed strains. The housing is community living, there is one General Shop where the citizens can get their allotted rations and some trading is carried out although Ferro doesn't readily give up anything of great use as trading fare. Within the walls of Ferro, there are no limitations to arms control since mutants are the normal citizens. Fights are allowed to go to completion unless property damage results, this Ironjaw will not tolerate. There are no prisons, either expulsion or death will be the price paid for stepping out of line to radically. The citizens of Ferro have weekly contests to entertain themselves, these include (but are not limited to) alcohol fermenting, "power wrestling", storytelling, card tournaments, and footraces.

Location:
Leader(s):	Ironjaw (Human Mutant)
Government:	Dictatorship
Population:	1500
Society:	Militant
Tech Level:	Middle
Power:	Beast driven machinery, wind-harnessing, alcohol furnaces
Interests:	Protection of human mutants, destruction of oppression, exploration
Rumors:	All mutants are welcomed, those who have performed crimes against disrespectful humans are seen as heroes. The Cursed use Ferro as a base of operations. Ironjaw has been conducting random raids of Road Clan merchants in order to bulk up his arsenal and supply sheds. Ironjaw conducts pro-terrorist camps to help mutants "defend" themselves proactively.

Horizon

This hub of human elitists is the outermost population before reaching the Great Void of Newmerica. They pride themselves in their history and in their genetic purity. They take much safety in the fact that their city is practically unreachable by large non-mechanized forces and allow themselves to concentrate on exploring the region's Ancient Cities. This leads to excessive lacks in military preparedness and will certainly be the city's downfall. To outsiders they are snide, brash and rude - and that's towards their human brethren. When it comes to mutants, they have a zero tolerance policy. They treat 'muties' as their early forefathers treated slaves and this explains why their movement hasn't yet caught on as they had hoped. Regardless of their political and social views, they do bring in some serious revenues from their spelunking efforts from the lost civilization. They don’t travel much other than to trade, and then only in hurried missions to the nearest human colonies.

Location:
Leader(s):	Commander Neal Tremaine (Human)
Government:	Socialist
Population:	1250
Society:	Communist
Tech Level:	High
Power:	Electricity run by fossil fuels, beast-powered machines, slave labor (human prisoners)
Interests:	Exploring, chartering and cleansing the land to rekindle the lost civilization of humankind, information revealing the lost civilization
Rumors:	Mutants don't stand a chance of getting a fair trial, imprisonment and slave labor are left for humans whereas mutants are expelled without supplies or murdered outright depending on the crime. It's only a matter of time before the Horizon military attack Ferro (who rescue and harbor Horizon's most wanted criminals). The bulk of Horizon's population is involved in exploration of nearby Ancient Cities, lowering the city's defenses for long periods of time.

Inferno

Inferno lies at the border where the Wastelands begin to give way to coastal marshlands. The temperature in the area surrounding Inferno reaches over 90^o F regularly. This natural occurrence drives the inhabitants to be nocturnal. The entire town wakes when the sun begins to set. Inferno is a town of survivalists. They try to keep to themselves and don't provoke any trouble. All of their military might is focused on keeping it's inhabitants safe from the insect plagues. The buildings of Inferno are linked by access tunnels, covered rope bridges, and vehicle roads. They keep out of the sun in the day and avoid the unpredictable night. They are not hermits, however. They go to and fro whenever necessary and have a committee which travels to other towns trading and making political contacts as needed. Due to their proximity to the Dismal Mountains, Underworlders and Trolls are well represented in Inferno. Reptilians are also in pretty good number due to the town's access to Dead Marsh. The Committee is elected tri-annually or when needed, the one-shared goal besides survival is the surveying of the Wastelands in the hopes of finding a more suitable locale (that dream is dying, however).

Location:
Leader(s):	"The Committee" Currently: Aquin (Human), Nearra (Human) and Greeneye (Underworlder)
Government:	Democracy
Population:	1600
Society:	Socialist
Tech Level:	Middle to High
Power:	Electricity run by natural gas
Interests:	Minor trade, surveying the wastelands, self-sustaining their community
Rumors:	The humans at Inferno accept all other races, but still deride human mutants

New Hope

Location:
Leader(s):	Duke Thaddeus Graves and the Graves Family (Human Monarchy)
Government:	Monarchy
Population:	1750
Society:	Socialist
Tech Level:	High
Power:	Electricity using steam driven engines fuelled by coal and wood furnaces
Interests:	Reunification of humankind, information on pre-apocalypse society, advanced technology, expansion of controlled territories for safe and well-established trade routes, increasing trade
Rumors:	Duke Graves has selfish ambitions to be ruler over all humankind, hiding it behind his "Reunification Agenda". The Duke's predecessors were well-supplied survivalists that survived the Plague Years by occupying well-established Vaults. The locating of such Vaults is of utmost priority to the Duke. The Graves' have unreasonable wealth in the form of natural goods, survival supplies, technology and artifacts. They regularly use ancient vehicles and have even been said to have functional ancient airships. The Scholars at New Hope pride themselves in their engineering capabilities and will pay highly for information on the whereabouts of robots, technical manuals and construction goods.

Tempest

Location:
Leader(s):	Myder Myder (Thin Man)
Government:	Patriarchy
Population:	750
Society:	Socialist (97% Thin Man, 2% Human (advisors), 1% Mixed Races)
Tech Level:	Organotech
Power:	Swamp gas and bioelectric vegetation
Interests:	Self-sustaining commune, organotechnology, animal training, horticulture
Rumors:	The low population of Thin Men does not make this city defenseless as they allow their myriad of trained "pets" to protect them. The inaccessibility of Tempest frustrates many would-be attackers (Trolls and Ravagers mostly).

Trademajor (MSZ)

There's no denying the fact that Trademajor is what the Ancients used to call a "tourist town". Unless you speak to someone from Dune City (see above), you would find out that Trademajor is the business and commerce center of the Wastelands. Trademajor is open to all, and living there is so expensive that only the very rich (and very foolish) desire to do so. Everything is business in Trademajor, they care little about the restructuring of civilization, but they do glorify (and even worship) the old deities of Democracy and Free Trade. As far as attractions go, Trademajor has it all. They have their own Zoo called "The Wildpark" (they pay top credits to new and unusual findings if brought in alive) and they also have an arena that they call "Merciless Stadium" where warriors can try to earn social acceptance and tangible rewards if they come out alive. If one is looking for steady employment, then Trademajor is the town to strike out for. Caravans of Traders are sent out almost daily and those caravans need protecting. It's a big city and a good place to lay low, questions are never asked and this makes it a dangerous town to roam around in. The peace is kept by street law, meaning you settle your own score or bring in a body guard that can do it for you. There is no mercy for the weak at Trademajor… unless they're willing to pay for it.

Location:
Leader(s):	Tri-el Bazz (Human Mutant)
Government:	Democracy
Population:	2200 transients, 500 residents
Society:	Capitalist
Tech Level:	High to Advanced
Power:	Electric generators driven by natural gas and fossil fuels
Interests:	Trade,
Rumors:	Trademajor has it's own zoo of bizarre creatures and will pay high prices for new exotic animals and plants. The Arena is used to test a warrior's ability in order to gain citizenship. These contests often use zoo creatures as opponents.

TERRAIN TYPES

THE HARDLANDS

The hardlands are the product of the now silent Mount Juno (a pre-Apocalypse plasma power-generator prototype) which blew due to neglect. Upon discharge, it filled the radioactive sky with plasma and tons upon tons of ash. The hardlands are a frozen landscape with everything perfectly preserved in stone. There are stone forests, stone "lakes" which became water filled quarries, stone corpses, but mostly just long stretches of flat uncorrupted concrete. Little survives too long unprepared in the hardlands. It is a favorite hunting ground of the Cursed and the Ravagers, and they are both believed to be based there. Some life forms have, of course, have adapted. Vegetation comes in the form of mobile plants and fungi. Animal life forms are usually the flying sort.

OASISES

The two largest pockets of vegetation in Newmerica are described below. Smaller islands are also scattered about Newmerica. Due to the amount of food available in these green areas, many They are very dangerous places to tread.

The SkyWood

Thousands of acres cover the west and southern Newmerica hundreds of miles north of the Hardlands. Disease is said to run rampant. It is said that unprepared wanderers are more likely die from disease than from the most ferocious predator. It is common knowledge that Reptilians possess a nearly universal vaccinate within their blood, but getting it from them is a true task.

The Crimson Forest

This central forest gains its name from the red foil-like leaves that filter the sun and cause an array of red to spill over everything within. Some predators take advantage of this monochrome environment. It has been said that an individual needs a full day's recuperation once they leave the forest just to adjust their eyes. Any long amounts of time (around 1 week depending on the character's EGO) spent within may wear away at a character's sanity.

Sludge Swamp

This area represents certain death to those who are found within, it boasts a terrifying landscape full of predators and death traps. It is defined by the delta composing of the D'vai River to the Dry River and then down to the Hooge Sea. It gives way to higher ground miles before reaching the Dry River (hence the river's name).

Meeko Swamp

This large bog surrounds the city of Tempest and in turn provides the city with protection from large raiding squads. In it, however, are enemies to those who trespass through it. The Thin Men at Tempest have somehow developed a symbiotic relationship with the swamp and it's inhabitants, harnessing the gas found within to provide energy and farming it's depths for natural wonders which keep the Thin Men free of the old technology and rich in neo-technology which is based on organics.

THE WASTELANDS (most to all activity in the wasteland is at night)

The Wasteland is the vast portion of the Ancient Lands that didn't survive the Cataclysm. It was created, for the most part by a succession of events that began with the Nuclear Winter. It is a barren desert that covers well over 75% of the North American continent. Only the trade routes between the major hubs have been mapped, but if any other islands of life exist beyond the Wastelands, it is not known (although rumors persist). There is some evidence of quiet, slow encroaching of the Wasteland is invading the last pockets of life in Newmerica.

There is no permanent source of food or water in the Wasteland. The ground is hard and clay-like with varying consistency from rock hard (red to dark brown in color), to quicksand (beige to brown) to sandy (red or tan). Winds are warm to hot and it persistently kicks up dust. This causes the sun to be obscured almost constantly by continuous curtains of sand and gravel.

Exposure: An unprotected wanderer will likely die within days. Without the benefit of life support, food, water and companionship, unprepared travelers are subject to 1/2 D6 KA NND vs CON roll per day without the benefit of rest (healing is slowed). In addition 1D6 Character Points of REC and EGO will be Drained per day (1 point per every two points rolled, round down). The mucus membranes must be covered in order to make the CON roll to avoid the KA NND. EGO checks must be made every 12 hours after spending (# days = EGO) in the Wasteland or else insanity will creep in due to desperation and hopelessness. The number of companions the individual has with him/her will each give a +1 to this roll, and if proper supplies and equipment are present for travel and shelter, then up to a +5 can be gained depending on how physically prepared the individual is to face the desolation.

Radiation or "The Curse" is a persistent threat to all that is healthy. The levels range from background (mostly harmless) to full effect in the ruins of most major Ancient cities. The rules outlined in the HERO System Rules Book (under "Living in a Dangerous World" should be consulted as a guide. Hard radiation may further change human mutants with random results. A beneficial mutation should be fairly rare with a 1 in 6 probability (the GM may choose to modify this chance based on the character’s CON).
