Reduced Temperature Tolerance (Smaller Comfort Zone Range)?

That's a shaky precedent, but better than nothing, I guess.

Well I would also have said Regrowth should allow you to recover from the HT loss of a mortal wound. But Kromm disagrees.

Fascinating discussion of ItMH and HT loss aside, I'd call it Increased Life Support (Slight Temperature Regulation) [-5] rather than model it on Temperature Tolerance.

It's the new Hiking!

What would that mean mechanically?

Assuming the zombie rule applies to machines as-is*, this would still happen waaaay later than to a human.

Oh, it's a totally okay Feature, but normally ER cannot be lost like FP.

* == I'm slightly fuzzy on the latest Krommquote on the issue, besides Kromm said that he won't post all he has to say because of all the preparations; oh, and I think that a modified HT (with bonuses and penalties) of 18+ should act as a No Nuisance Rolls Perk for purposes of HT loss; kinda like Earth being immune to mild Afflictions.

Depends on the dice roll, you could roll an 18 on you first roll if you are unlucky.

He said: "I'd be willing to give a few impartial answers in front of all parties if I could identify some simple questions." So if you have simple questions, then ask him.

With HT 10, that effectively gives ItMH [30] Temperature Tolerance 14 [14] for free.

I suppose you'd model the impact by reducing the comfortable range (as "Reduced Temperature Tolerance 2" or thereabouts), or imposing a penalty to HT rolls to resist heat (as Susceptible (Heat) -1 or -2), but I would price it based on Increased Life Support, since its practical effect in most games is not going to be lots of HT rolls for the character, but lots of logistical complexity for the group.
