The Poncho is a loose rain cape with a hood. It is a piece of clothing worn in the Hooded Jacket slot. Its job is to keep rain off the body.
It keeps out all rain and blocks most of the wind. It adds only a little warmth, so it suits summer storms better than winter cold. It also turns aside a few scratches. Its main cost is speed, since it slows running by a tenth.
The Poncho comes in a green and a yellow look with the same stats. Army surplus stores, pawn shops and outdoor stores stock it, and military crates hold one now and then. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Poncho is the answer to wet weather. A soaked character gets cold and sick, and the Poncho keeps the body dry in any rain. It blocks three quarters of the wind with the hood up. Warmth stays low, so it works best over other layers in cold months.
It covers the torso, back, upper arms, groin, thighs, neck and head. It stops about one scratch in ten on those parts. It gives no real help against bites. The Improvised Poncho made from garbage bags or a tarp stops only half as many scratches and is less comfortable to wear.
The hood can be lowered with the Hood Down option and raised again with Hood Up. With the hood down, the Poncho is a little warmer and blocks a little more wind. It also adds some protection to the neck.
The Poncho takes the place of a jacket. Sweaters, hooded sweaters, suit jackets, bathrobes, boilersuits and full suits clash with it. With the hood up it also blocks any hat.
Variations
The Poncho comes in 4 versions. Most of their stats match, and the extra columns show the ones that differ.

Notes
- It keeps out all rain, which keeps a character dry and healthy in storms.
- Lowering the hood frees the head for a hat and adds a little neck protection.
- It slows running, so it is worth taking off before a long chase.
- Army surplus stores and pawn shops are the surest places to find one.
