Illumination

Meatbags are weak in the light, and stronger in the dark.

Dark in these cases is defined as anything darker then -3. Accoring to Kromm Flashlights reduce darkness penalties to -3, so they count as light, whereas moonlight (penalty?) doesn't.

In the unusual case of Meatbags actually being in direct sunlight, treat this as unhealthy, but not instant-death harmful. Under prolonged exposure (maybe every hour?) they'd roll HT verse 1 HP loss. They'll generally avoid sunlight (and bright places in general).
