Contaminated Atmosphere

Most worlds people settle have an atmosphere that is nearly breathable. Industrial worlds add their own contaminants, and converted worlds add Bloom atmosphere. Radiological contamination is treated the same way: it travels on particles, the same seal filters it out, and the dose it leaves does not clear with rest.

In play

  • Filtration

    A rebreather or sealed suit removes the check. A filter mask gives advantage on it.

  • Visibility

    Ash and dense spore make the area heavily obscured beyond Close range, in addition to their other effects.

  • Radiological

    Where the contaminant is radiological, a failed save also inflicts a level of exhaustion that a long rest will not clear. It is removed by a Medicine check against the same DC, a restorative spell or a course of antiradiation drugs.

  • Conversion

    A failure in Bloom atmosphere also counts as one day of exposure toward conversion.
