advised statistics:
19 combat skill (there aren't many fights, but they can be draining, especialy the 2nd in the 1st book where you are low on supply), 24 endurance (this helps in the later installments, but you have a chance even with minimal stat), 8+ medikit at the start (you WILL be harmed)
rules of transition: I picked up new extra equipment from the list, just like with the skill bonuses. Also full heal between books.
Highway Holocaust:
skills: +3 stealth, +1 perception
tárgyak:
1. binocular, 2. solar torch (don't ask), meal
weapon: rifle
note on ammo: later in the series you might need 6*9mm ammo, so pack them along your 7.62mmm
note on medikits: as you can't breach your maximum, only use when necessary
