The Hypothermia Moodle shows that a character is too cold. It has four levels, from Chilly to Hypothermia.
Cold slows the body down. Combat and running speed both drop as the character gets colder. At the worst level, running stops completely and health starts to drain in freezing weather. Cold also raises the risk of catching a cold. Winter in particular demands warm clothing and a plan to stay warm.
Hypothermia Moodle Levels
The moodle grows through these stages, from mild to worst.

| 1 | Chilly |
| 2 | Cold |
| 3 | Freezing |
| 4 | Hypothermia |
Hypothermia Moodle Causes
Cold weather is the main cause. Low temperatures pull body heat away, and wind chill makes it worse.
Missing warm clothing leaves the body exposed. Light clothes in cold weather lead quickly to this moodle.
Staying wet makes the character colder. Wet clothes keep the body warm much less well.
A vehicle's air conditioning can also chill the character.
Hunger, tiredness and poor fitness all lower resistance to cold. A hungry, tired, unfit character gets cold much faster.
Hypothermia Moodle Effects
Chilly is the first level. Its tooltip reads "It feels a bit nippy round here..." Discomfort rises a little. The character cannot heal naturally while chilly. The risk of catching a cold grows.
Cold is the second level. The character needs to find ways to keep warm. Combat and running speed both drop by a third. Discomfort grows.
Freezing is the third level. Its tooltip reads "Man alive, it is SO cold." Combat and running speed both drop by two thirds.
Hypothermia is the last level. The body is giving in to the cold. Combat speed falls to a fraction of normal, and running stops entirely. If the air is below freezing, health starts to drain slowly.
How to Fix the Hypothermia Moodle
Warm clothing is the first defence. Coats, sweaters, hats and gloves all keep heat in.
Going indoors helps a great deal. Shelter blocks wind and rain.
Fires and heaters warm the character up. A campfire, a stove or a vehicle heater all work.
Drying off matters. Changing out of wet clothes or drying by a fire restores insulation.
Eating, resting and staying fit all improve cold resistance. A well-fed, well-rested character holds heat better.
Alcohol can hold back the first two levels for a while, depending on how drunk the character is.
Notes
- Dress warmly before going out in winter.
- Dry off quickly, since wet clothes make the cold worse.
- Eat and rest well to resist the cold.
- A car heater warms the character on the road.
- At Hypothermia, health drains in freezing air.
