O wise and powerful Game Master, what do you mean by the "yellow box?" I couldn't find anything like that, and a web search was inconclusive too. :(

Also we should be prepared for Bears, since this is an arctic, not antarctic moon.

An excellent distinction. Though, I've heard the venomous Penguinatrice of Pakkan-7 are rather nasty as well. And they live in colonies. Dreadful little things.


I think that's sensible.

I'm also doing a bit of google-fu here: our (Ant)arctic temps average a solid -44°F, firmly in the "extreme cold" category. That's a polar region on an otherwise ideally-habitable planet.

Something like Europa on the other hand, a more fitting analogue here, is more than -250⁰F at its equator. Definitely some "incredible cold."

In the ideal case then, we're looking at minor cold damage every hour ― more likely, minor cold damage every 10 min.

I think we'll have to stick this one close to the ship, what with exhaustion possible on top of the damage. This will be tricky seeing as there's not a good place to land close by. I'd also recommend we err on the side of being ready to flee. Combat is going to be extra dangerous here.
