Survival¶
Survival pressure comes from ordinary costs gathering into real limits.
Time passes. Movement spends the body. Work can help, but it also costs attention and condition.
Current Conditions¶
- Fatigue rises through effort and falls through rest.
- Hydration falls as time and work pass.
- Nutrition falls as the body keeps going.
Practical Rule¶
Do not treat a visible resource as already gained.
Water, plants, tracks, and terrain signs still require time, movement, condition, and enough local knowledge to use them well.
