Any way to avoid fatigue in precipitation?


Advice


This is something that's never come up to a large degree before, but the effects of mild cold and precipitation seem oddly inescapable. Cold weather clothing will stop damage from severe cold, but I can't find anything that stops you from being fatigued after four hours of travel in rain or mild temperatures. This is rather jarring to me, since fatigue, last I checked, can also only be removed by 8 hours of rest. We're playing Kingmaker, now, and are constantly having to choose between skipping camp activities due to fatigue or spending half our days hunkering down due to adverse weather. Not to mention that without the right feat fatigue is crippling to a barbarian.
Am I missing something? In a world where we can bring back the dead, is there no magical cure for being tired or wet? I get that fatigue is sometimes used as a balancing limiter during combat, but something that took ten minutes to enact wouldn't break the barbarian. The only umbrellas I can find are used to shoot people.
And yes, I know that I could houserule/handwave it away, but I'm neurotic about sticking to the rules wherever possible.


There is a spell that recovers fatigue Soothing Spring.

Apart from that I don't believe there are any others. A level 20 Champion could literally raise people from the dead with their Mercy touch, but remove fatigue? No.

The other option is to gain protections from the environment. Another spell Safe Passage will do it for a little while.

Maybe something like Arctic Elf applies
Rugged Survivalist
certainly does

Ah, never looked at the PFS Guide before, thank you. I thought it was just rules for organized play, and I've had the same group for over 20 years. It's a place to start, at least.

But... none of the Gortle's links are to the PFS guide. They are to the Archives of Nethis which is just the game's rules.

PFS guide is there.

Rugged Survivalist is from the Lost Omens book "Pathfinder Society Guide".


It won't help against precipitation, but Winter Wolf Elixir will protect against all effects of Severe Cold, not just the damage. Endure Elements can also do so.
