DESC: Regulating body tempurature is important for a creature to maintain focus and awareness in day to day life. Those that lose either focus or awareness often parish. Sweating is a comon method that many animals stay cool on a hot day as is shivering to stay warm on a cold day. Red Ash implements an automatic cost to fatigue, even if you do nothing.
Your people are sensitive to swings in the environments temperature above and/or below their normal range. These swings are set to these categories Mild, Moderate, Severe, Profound. Mild is +/-3 degrees Celsius (+/-5 degrees Fahrenheit), Moderate is +/-4 to +/-7 degrees Celsius (+/-6 to +/-13 degrees Fahrenheit), Severe is +/-8 to +/-16 Celsius (+/-14 to +/-28 degrees Fahrenheit), Profound is over +/-17 degrees Celsius (+/-29 Fahrenheit). These swings are maintained temperature changes and not the sudden change from a power, spell, or effect. Taking damage from a fireball does not count, but being left in a desert would if it is out of your range.
To make use of this power the designer of the race must select a base temperature. The base human temperature is 36 to 37 degrees Celsius (98-100 degrees Fahrenheit). To compensate humans make use of clothing for warmth and make use of technology for cooling (fans) or make use of cooling environments (the swimming hole).
When a character/unit finds itself in a temperature range outside of its normal one and is exposed or ill-prepared they will begin to suffer the effects of this power. Every turn the user will spend a base PAP and MAP per category of exposure and you can not rest.
