Hazards affect organic creatures, machines, or both. A hazard resolves its effects by making an attack roll against one of the target's defense scores; if the attack succeeds, the target suffers the effects of the hazard, including damage that may require special actions to treat. A hazard may affect all targets within an area or a single target, depending on its nature and its range. | Hazards affect organic creatures, machines, or both.

| − | * '''Acid''' ( | + | * '''Acid''' (Cl 2): When a target comes into contact with acid, make an attack roll (ld20+5) against the target's Fortitude Defense. If the attack succeeds, the character takes 2d6 points of acid damage. If the attack misses, the target takes half damage that round. This attack occurs again each round until the acid is washed off or treated (requiring a DC 15 Heal check and a medical kit). |
| − | * '''Corrosive Gas''' ( | + | * '''Corrosive Gas''' (Cl 4): A corrosive gas consists of chemicals that can eat away at everything from metal to organic flesh. Each round a character is exposed to a corrosive gas, make an attack roll (ld20+S) against the character's Fortitude Defense. If the attack succeeds, the character takes 2d6 points of acid damage. If the attack misses, the character takes half damage that round. |
| − | * '''Extreme Heat or Cold''' ( | + | * '''Extreme Heat or Cold''' (CL 4): Each hour a creature is exposed to extreme heat or cold, make an attack roll (ld20+5) against the character's Fortitude Defense. If the attack succeeds, the character takes 2d6 points of damage from heatstroke or hypothermia and moves -1 persistent step down the condition track (see Conditions, page 148). If the attack misses, the character takes half damage and does not move down the condition track. Heavy clothing or armor provides a +5 equipment bonus to your Fortitude Defense to resist extreme cold but imposes a -5 penalty to your Fortitude Defense to resist extreme heat. A creature suffering from heatstroke or hypothermia cannot regain hit points or improve its condition until it spends at least 1 hour in a normal environment. |

A creature or character that takes fire damage also catches on fire. For each round that a creature is on fire, make an attack roll (ld20+CR) against the target's Fortitude Defense. If the attack succeeds the target takes 1d6 points of fire damage; if the attack fails, the target takes only half damage. A character can put out the flames as a full-round action. | A creature or character that takes fire damage also catches on fire.

| − | * '''Poison''' ( | + | * '''Poison''' (CL variable; see specific description) Poison hazards are toxins that can be ingested, inhaled, or contracted through contact. They always attack the Fortitude Defense of a target, ignoring equipment bonuses to Fortitude Defense, damage reduction, and shield rating . They cause persistent conditions if they move you down the condition track (see Conditions, page 148). The persistent condition cannot be removed until the poison is cured (see Treat Injury skill, page 74) or until the poison fails its attack roll against you once. Contact poisons can be applied to weapons; when a poisoned weapon damages the target, the poison then makes its attack against the target's Fortitude Defense. |
A creature that dies from poison damage can be revived (see the revivify ability of the Treat Injury skill, page 74). However, reviving a creature doesn't remove the poison from its system; the poison must be treated separately.
