Notes: Clouds of toxins inflict damage per turn spent within the cloud without gas protection gear and cannot be dodged; to avoid the effects, a character needs protective gear or Life 2 magick. Many toxic chemicals work on skin contact and cannot be avoided by holding one’s breath. Clouds also drift with wind and may be dispersed or spread with Forces 2 or higher Effects.

Notes
Durability: Overall hardness and/ or thickness.
Structure: Useful integrity; when damage exceeds Structure, the object is broken.
Damage: The number of dice the surface or object adds to an attacker’s bashing damage pool if he uses that object or surface as an improvised weapon.
- 1 = Damage lethal if glass gets shattered before use as a weapon; doubled for heavy-duty glass.
- 2 = Damage reflects being hit with a piece of the wall or being slammed hard into it.
- 3 = Extremely varied, depending on age, type, and size of tree
