Hazardous environments can inflict damage to characters attempting to pass through them. In general, this damage is treated identically to normal damage, with the exception that some equipment specifically provides resistance to environmental damage, while providing no resistance to normal damage. An example of this is a tent, which reduces environmental damage by 5 points. This is treated as ER 5/- and DR 5/-, but only for purposes of resisting damage caused by environmental effects. If a mountain troll comes along and smashes the camper in the face with a rock, the tent won't help at all. | Hazardous environments can inflict damage to characters attempting to pass through them.
