Survival, Cold

• This proficiency is a "Trained Use" skill, meaning that it cannot be used until it is unlocked.
• The cost to unlock this skill is One Proficiency Point.
• There is no Attribute Modifier.

A character who has unlocked this proficiency is more resistant to the adverse effects of a cold climate. For this character the effect temperature is considered to be twenty degrees warmer than it is for a character without this proficiency. This proficiency will only apply when the effect temperature is thirty degrees or lower.
At temperatures from negative ten degrees and below, the character may make a proficiency check each turn. For every turn they succeed their proficiency check, this skill still persists. On the second turn and every turn after that, the character will receive a -3 penalty to their roll. Once a proficiency check fails, from then on they do not gain the benefits of this proficiency until the temperature changes to 0 degrees or higher.
