There are a lot of different worlds, each of
them as distinct as any terrestrial environment, and most of them as varied as
the range of terrestrial environments. Possession of the survival skill
indicates familiarity with a broad variety of environmental conditions
This allows the individual to live off the land and stay alive in situations
where most individuals would have trouble finding food, water, or shelter.
The likelihood of Survival skill (n matter how
good) allowing a character to find breathable air in a vacuum is rather slight,
but Survival would allow an individual to use any tools at hand to build an
adequate shelter or to locate caves or natural features which could assist in
survival Survival also allows the fashioning and use of such
environmentally-appropriate equipment as skis, snowshoes, protective hats, etc.
Certain equipment makes Survival tasks less difficult: water test kits and
purifiers, atmospheric sniffers and chemical analyzers.
