The threshold values are such that at th first value, penalties for being too warm kick in. Once the second value is reached, more severe penalties take effect, and if the third value is exceeded, extreme penalties take effect. An example is that after the first value, for heat water requirements are increased while for cold the required daily intake of food is increased slightly. After the second value, for heat the water requirement is increased drastically while for cold the food requirement is increased markedly. And so forth.

Ideas and sketches for Metabolism, Temperature Tolerance, and perhaps Sleep as well. Maybe also Tan (Sun Resistance) eventually.

The Human norm is 6 Levels of Temperature Tolerance, distributed as desired between Cold Tolerance and Heat Tolerance, but with zero Levels as the minimum for either. This amount of 6 Levels can be sold down or bought up.

The "true Human norm" is 3 Levels vs Cold and 3 vs Heat, which is for Human racially adapted to a Mediterranean climate. Someone living in Denmark or Northern Germany would have 2 vs Heat and 4 vs Cold, while a Norwegian might have 1 vs Heat and 5 vs Cold, and an Inuit (Eskimo) have 0 vs Heat and 6 vs Cold.

The "gains" are such that players are strongly discouraged from very uneven distribution of the Levels. It is therefore assumed that when very uneven distribution occors, it is because the player thinks it is "true to the character's concept".

A total of 2 or 3 levels of Temperature Tolerance is highly unusual, and is usually only found in very weakened people. Perhaps some people undergoing chemotherapy? It can also be argued that Human variety should be limited to a maximum of 8 or 9 Levels of Temperature Tolerance, but the 10th is included just 'coz.

All temperatures are in degress celsius.

The threshold values are such that at th first value, penalties for being too warm kick in. Once the second value is reached, more severe penalties take effect, and if the third value is exceeded, extreme penalties take effect. An example is that after the first value, for heat water requirements are increased while for cold the required daily intake of food is increased slightly. After the second value, for heat the water requirement is increased drastically while for cold the food requirement is increased markedly. And so forth.
