{{As Of Patch|2.0. | '''Temperature''' is one mechanic that has a passive effect. In Qud, the default ambient temperature of the world is 25. The unit of measurement for temperature is either T or °, and can be used interchangably. For each object, there are usually four important temperature thresholds: | ||

Temperature changes require the object and the heat source to be in the same phase. Heat and Cold resist are the percentage that harmful temperature changes actually affect the object. For example, a 25 heat resist from a {{favilink|issachari sun veil}} mean harmful positive heat increases will be decreased by 25%. "Harmful" temperature changes refer only to a temperature change were it would bring the object's temperature to greater than 50 or less than 25. Heat and cold resist do not change how temperature changes between 25-50T. If the creature has [[Fatty Hump]], all temperature changes are halved, including cooling down when on fire, or heating up when cold. | Temperature changes require the object and the heat source to be in the same phase.

An entity's quickness is reduced by 50 times the absolute value of their current temperature divided by their freezing temperature (both measured relative to their brittle temperature) rounded down (which means a temperature of -45 will for an entity with default brittle and freezing temperatures result in a quickness reduction of 22) if they are freezing. If frozen, however, they will be unable to move or perform any physical actions but will not have their quickness reduced | {{Main|Frozen}} | ||
