Survival Tip #220
Inexperienced addition=your responsibility
If you take an inexperienced person into your group they become your responsibility. It is up to you to make sure they are properly equipped and trained to handle the Primal Age. It is your duty to take care of them. Choose carefully.

You’d be stupid to take on a tenderfoot in the Primal Age. You have to feed them, water them, equip and train them. All that time they are producing nothing, taking everything and a danger to your security.
