; How does it increase?
* Every 5 minutes (50 turns) it will increase by one point.

Default value: 0
Default value: 0


== Scent ==
=== Cash ===
Default value: 500 | Min value: -- | Max value: --
* Cash represents your bank account balance from before the Cataclysm.
 
* It can't be used directly, but you can access your account via ATM machines, and charge a [[cash card]] for later use.
Characters with the [[traits#Smelly|smelly]] trait will default to 800, and to 1200 with the [[Mutation#Very_Smelly|very smelly]] mutation.
* Pre-Cataclysm money is a relic of the past and will not be accepted by many factions. Vending machines don't have that problem, but you need a pre-charged cash card to pay for the goods.
 
* Default value: random, varying from -20,000$ (debt) to +20,000$ (post [[0.D (Danny)]])
It will always try to normalize itself to the default level.
* Some traits may influence starting cash.
<!-- Scent increases fast at first, and slows down as it approaches normal levels. Estimate it will take about norm_scent * 2 turns to go from 0 - norm_scent / 2. Without smelly trait this is about 1.5 hrs. Slows down significantly after. -->
 
Scent always surrounds the player's character, and will leave a trail when he moves. Without the pressence of the player the scent eventually dissappears.
 
The [[CBM:_Sensory#Scent Vision|scent vision]] bionic will allow you to visualize your scent.
<!--
; How does it increase?
* You probably don't want to do that, do you?
-->
 
; How does it decrease?
* Closed doors and windows will reduce the scent leaked outside
* [[construction#tape window|Taping windows]] will reduce the scent leaked outside even more
* Smoke (normal one, tear gas, toxic gas...) eliminates all the scent close to it, so use that to your advantadge.
* Rain reduces scent by one point per turn
* The [[Olfactory Mask]] bionic can reduce your scent considerably
 
;Effects
Scent allows any creature able to smell to track player characters (check the creatures with the SMELLS flag in the [[enemies]] page).
 
== Health ==
Default value: 0 | Min value: -- | Max value: --
 
Determines the chances of a player's character to get a [[diseases#Low_immunity_diseases|common disease]].
 
You can increase this value by consuming items that increase health, such as [[comestibles#vitamins|vitamins]], [[comestibles#Nyquil|Nyquil]] and [[comestibles#Dayquil|Dayquil]]. On the other hand, there are items can lower this value when consumed, like methamphetamine, heroine, sugar, bleach, etc.
 
This value will increase and decrease by one point randomly each turn, although it tends to regulate itself towards zero.
 
If a character doesn't have the [[diseases#Influenza|flu]] nor the [[diseases#Common Cold|common cold]] there's a small chance that he will acquire them. This chance can be lowered with a high health, the [[traits#Disease Resistant|disease resistant]] trait, or completely negated with the [[Mutation#Disease_Immune|disease immune]] mutation.
 
== Moves ==
Default value: 100 | Min value: 25 | Max value: --
 
'''Moves''', or '''movement points''', or '''speed''', determines the distance a creature can move in a given [[turn]].
 
Each tile is composed by a given [[terrain types|terrain type]], which has a movement cost associated with it. Moving through it will cost as may movement points as the specified movement cost.
 
;Display
{{igs|Spd |c_white}}{{igs|100|c_white}}
 
The speed will be {{igs|green|c_green}} if above 100 and {{igs|red|c_red}} if below that.
 
;Calculation
This value is calculated each turn, where the following bonus and penalties are applied:
 
;Penalties
* <u>Weight</u>: when the weight carried is 25% higher than the weight capacity
* <u>Pain</u>: when pain is higher than the potence of the consumed painkillers. This penalty is more severe if the difference is higher than 60
* <u>Painkillers</u>: when the potence of the consumed painkillers is 10 or higher than the pain. More severe if it's higher than 30.
* <u>Morale</u>: when morale bonus (morale level / 25) is below -10
* <u>Radiation</u>: when radiation is 20 or higher. 40 or higher increases the penalty further
* <u>Thirst</u>: when thirst is above 40
* <u>Hunger</u>: when hunger is above 100
* <u>Sunlight dependant mutation</u>: penalties relative to the current light level when not under sunlight
* <u>Cold blood mutation</u>: when temperature is below 60F
* {{spoiler|<u>Speed down artifact</u>: 20 penalty points}}
 
;Bonus
* <u>Morale</u>: when morale is higher than 100 there will be a bonus that can't be higher than 10.
* <u>Stimulants</u>: Based on the potence of all stimulants taken. It can't be higher than 40.
* <u>Quick trait</u>: gives a 10% bonus
* {{spoiler|<u>Speed up artifact</u>: 20 bonus points}}
 
Some [[diseases]] and status effects can also affect this value (usually negatively).
 
Movement points can't be below 25 in any case.
