With this Charm, the Dragon-Blood's intuitive knowledge of how to survive in difficult climes allows him to protect his fellows in all but the harshest conditions. In a hot environment, the Dragon-Blood can make certain that he and his allies can avoid heat prostration and other hazards. In a cold environment, he can enable his friends to better preserve body heat and avoid frostbite. For one day, the Dragon-Blood and his companions get three automatic successes on Survival rolls to resist adverse environmental conditions. In other words, any environmental penalty of three or less is reduced to zero, and persons protected by this Charm never suffer an environmental penalty greater than two. The cost is three motes plus one additional mote per companion protected. The Exalt can protect a maximum number of allies equal to his permanent Essence.
