Wet is a moodle that represents the player's dampness level.

Overview

The character and their clothing have become wet. This is typically due to rain, but it can also occur due to sweating and exertion. Prolonged exposure can increase the risk of catching a cold, though the Outdoorsman and Resilient traits reduce the chances of catching a cold in these cases.

This moodle can be removed by going indoors out of the rain for a while, standing by a heat source, or drying oneself with a dish towel or bath towel. The character can slow the rate of wetness by equipping an umbrella in their first or secondary slot, preventing the moodle from reaching past "Wet". Wet clothes have decreased insulation, which makes getting cold more likely.
