[QUOTE="Sir Elton, post: 3389162, member: 14486"] [b]Weather in Upstate New York[/b] I really should add this to my other post. But, oh well. Don't mind the first paragraphs, just some brainstorming on my part. :D hmm. If Frostburn was Open Game Content, I could really run wild with this scenario, since I'll (presumably) have official rules on how to rule an icestorm with a culture that doesn't have the Automobile. Too bad, I bet ice storms there are extremely beautiful as everything looks like it's crystalized. :] Although I'd hate any Spartan societies and the way they train their soldiers if they started up in the Finger Lakes area. Young soldiers will have absolutely no protection against the cold and would have died of Hypothermia wearing only the thin chiton they wear all year around. Stormwrack! Again, if Stormwrack was Open Game Content, I can put in the official playtested rules. Debris floating down the river, what kind of damage does it do? I bet 5d6 to Gargantuan creatures. :] Like I said above, plagues have been known to hit 1/3 of a populace in the Bronze Age, and early and middle Iron Ages. By the Late Iron Age (around the time of Galen of Alexandria), the people would have understood the methods of externally controlling the plague. And since these are Greeks, you're dealing with a culture who didn't think too badly of being free of their clothing. Because of the heat and high humidity, they'd probably wear only the linen chiton; and while it is really hot, they'd of course do all of their hard work without it. As for rules of plagues, the Mound Builders had around 20 some-odd species of herbs to work with for relieving pain and suffering. These Greeks will know how to make any number of concoctions for medicine: infusions, syrups, poultices, and tinctures to name a few. And since these are Greeks, a number of surgical operations. Nothing medieval like bleeding and that stuff. Of course, there is magic and psionics: cure light wounds, and holistic touch healers. How pleasant. [/QUOTE]
