Description: Education, practice and overall awareness of wild environments and protective gear.
The GM might ask you to make a Survival check to recognise and negotiate life-threatening hazards. Without any aspects, this is often characterised by surviving in adverse conditions in an otherwise life-supporting habitat. Examples are guiding your group through frozen wastelands, finding water in a desert, surviving a night in freezing temperatures. With the introduction of some skill aspects, it can include knowing the best place to land a ship in shifting sands or understanding the consequences of a stellar storm on the unprotected surface of a nearby planet.
