ARMOR

The Athasian heat makes heavy armor oppressive – metal suits are doubly so. Apply the Armor Check Penalty of any metal armor worn to a character’s skill checks and saving throws related to heat, dehydration, fatigue or exhaustion. For non-metal armor, apply half the penalty (round down). Armor check penalties for shields do not apply to such checks.
