Drifters have five Morale states which affect their levelling speed.
As drifters level up, the range of these states shifts. Increasing their requirements for higher Morale. Drifter Morale can be affected by various modifiers. Some of these modifiers, like hunger and thirst, reduce drifter attributes.
