How do Immunity to Metabolism Hazards and Temperature Tolerance relate to each other when dealing with heat and cold?
When talking about heat and cold, there are three *different* effects to consider: • “Doesn’t suffer FP or HP loss due to hypothermia or hyperthermia, which are forms of system failure tied to having a metabolism.” • “Doesn’t suffer from the negative effects of ambient heat and cold on the material structure; e.g., freezing solid, melting, and catching fire.” • “Doesn’t suffer damage from directed heat and cold attacks.” Immunity to Metabolic Hazards provides (1). Temperature Tolerance gives a degree of protection against (2) and, if you have a metabolism, some protection against (1), too – that’s why Temperature Tolerance states, “such as FP or HP loss,” and not, “that is, FP or HP loss.” Only Damage Resistance offers (3). The problem is that the rules give few cases of (2). There’s the fact that Temperature Tolerance sets a “burning threshold” under the intense heat rules (p. B434) and that’s about it. There should be similar rules for freezing solid and for melting, and even for bei
