Hobbster Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Several of the conditions (paralyzed, prone, unconscious) on pages 128/129 show effects in 5 feet distance instead of meters. Carbon Monoxide is not "unhealthy" as is suggested in table "Breathing" on page 130, but pretty much a poisonous if not deadly gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 As with any other substance, the toxicity/lethality of CO is dependent on the dose/concentration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbster Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Yeah.. since CO has a 200 times higher affinity to bind to hemoglobin than O2 and a 0.1% CO concentration in the air in your lungs is enough to reduce O2 transport in your blood by 50%, I'd say everyone's pretty dead way before the end of the first hour alotted in the rules for one period.

Voice Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 If your reading of the rules contradict your assumed dosage, clearly your assumed dosage isn’t what the rules are presenting. Carbon monoxide poisoning certainly can be quick and deadly, but it can also be slow and insidious, with people hospitalized after literally days to *weeks* of long-term, low-dose exposure.
