WATER

• Starting with Day 1, characters take 2 levels of fatigue per day that they go without water, which cannot be recovered except through hydration.
• When a character has gone without water more days than their Toughness Bonus, at the end of each day above that # they suffer the following permanent Characteristic Damage:
  • 1d5 Strength
  • 1d5 Toughness
  • 1d5-2 Agility
  • 1d5-2 Willpower
• Effects for Water Deprivation stack with the effects for Food Deprivation.
• If a character has full servings of food but no water, then the effects for Water Deprivation are halved.
  • This means characters take 1 Fatigue/day from water deprivation & can go 2xTB in days before they begin to suffer permanent characteristic damage.

FOOD
The rules for characters not eating are as written on page 221 & summarized here:

• A character can starve for number of days up to his Toughness bonus before suffering any ill effects.
• Once that time expires, the character can no longer recover Fatigue for any reason and begins suffering 1 Fatigue each day.
• These effects last until the character recovers with a substantial amount of food.
