This book, for new players and Dungeon Masters as well as more experienced campaigners, presents rules for adventuring in the outdoors. Opportunities and challenges await characters brave enough and hardy enough to take on the biggest 'monster' of all...the wilderness!
The greater part of this book is devoted to presenting rules and guidelines that translate the effects of a natural, outdoor environment into game terms: How much damage does a character suffer from prolonged exposure to extremely hot or extremely cold temperature? How do the terrain, climate, and weather conditions affect a character's ability to move and attack? etc.
The general intent of the Wilderness Survival Guide is to be faithful to the literal interpretation of the title. That natural physical environment is described in a fair amount of detail, along with rules for how characters and creatures are affected by that environment.
