I'm packing the equivilant of a 50-pound plastic and fleece overcoat, myself, but living in central Alabama I start getting cold around about 50 degrees. 20 degrees F is something I would certainly notice upon stepping outside, and after a couple hours (unless I was walking brisky, I assume), I'd be pretty bad off. A friend of mine used to be quite overweight but over the course of two years he shed over 129 pounds and now is probably closer to 'adventurer grade' for his age than most people I know; he walks several miles a day, does cardio and treadmill, etc. And one of the things he's noticed is how cold he gets, now. He wears a jacket to the theater or in most homes, since a lot of us tend to crank the AC up.Ordinarily I'd think that the 'winter adventuring' post was a joke, but it would not surprise me in the least. It simply amazes me the GMs that think that the characters are total idiots. Today in tabletop gaming, we had a character drag another person out of the line of fire, and then go try to help me. DM: OK, you start that way, but you can't move that far.Player: Huh? It's only 30 feet. I have more than enough movement.DM: You never said you were putting down the 120 pound body. So you're still carrying it. In fact, you're been carrying it for the last three rounds.OK, whatever. Honestly, anyone that pulls that kind of stuff should simply be ashamed of themselves. Deeply ashamed.</blockquote>
