My 12th level monk with a high Str, and precise feats (I was forced to take Monkey Grip to be able to use the bars in combat) isn't exactly like Joe Shmoe picking them up.Now, onto the range of the cold...Having had the unfortunate experience of training at Graf and Wildflicken during the winter for WintEx, I have to say:Sweating makes it worse. The sweat freezes, turns to ice, and makes you colder. As soon as the temperature drops below freezing, you need to start wearing the correct equipment, such as cold weather parkas, field jacket liners, winter gloves, and in the case of Wildflicken, cold weather masks.Even then, more than a few people got frostbite on their toes from sweating inside their boots.</blockquote>
