If my PCs use their EP during their weather checks do their following checks without EP reset or continue as normal?
Example: a PC does three hourly checks starting at DC-15, 16 and 17 then uses one hour of EP. Does the next check start at a DC-18 or does it go back to a DC-15? Or I can see an argument for it decreasing 1 for every hour as the suit shuts out the environmental conditions for that hour so it may go to a DC-16 if the last check before EP was a 17.
Does this make sense? Not sure which way to rule on this. My group is starting their trek into the wilderness this coming weekend.
Thanks for any suggestions.
