Hey guys. Sorry for the long absence, I've been quite loaded down with 
university work and a job as well. Luckily, it's summer break time, so I 
should be able to put in a little more time.

To weigh in on the 'hazardous environment' discussion, it's probably a good 
idea to have a special category for them - not only do they inflict damage 
over time, but (possibly) the area of effect could shrink/expand over that 
time span. Think fire spreading or smoke clearing. So, you'd have a 'time 
span' and a 'area of effect growth/shrink rate' and extra rules for that.

Also, question on items: where does picking up and dropping things fit in? 
Is it at the 'FieldCarriable' level?
