Gravity Rules

[Luddite]

On P. 154...

"Modifiers apply to all attack, skill, and save checks."

What I would like to know is, how does being in lower or heavier gravity affect someone's Fortitude or Will save. Does the body or mind get weaker outside normal gravity. I can see Reflex saves affected, but not Will and Fort.

Also shouldn't skills that do not require and pysicial activity (Knowledge), not be affected?

In a gravity that is unusual to you, everything feels wrong. Things don't fall correctly, your limbs don't move right, you have difficulty swallowing etce etc.

This all might add up to a general malaise that reduces health across the board (fort).

Initially, your panic reaction will reduce your will power (ability to concentrate etc) and Over time, that general sense of unwellness might serious sap your will.

So yes, I could justify the save reduction. Having said that, I would make G Adaption much easier if I had been writing the rules. (I would probably say 1 skill point to adapt to a specific gravity - with a feat required for zero G) But that isn;t the rules as written.

That's not a bad idea Mink. I may have to give that some thought myself. Please elaborate if anything more on that comes to mind.

I clarified this in the upcoming errata.

Change the last sentence of the first paragraph to read: Modifiers apply to all attacks, skill checks requiring physical action, and Reflex saves.
