[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7233748, member: 12731"] I see this subject has been brought up in the general What do you think? thread. I'm in the position of teleporting my level 5 heroes to Chult, and I fully intend to make it a challenging hex-crawl. One aspect is Heat & Heavy Armor, as is the subject of this entire thread. And I don't like how you can circumvent all the checks and penalties by simply drinking two gallons of (clean) water. For my purposes, that's far too easy to fix. My paladin player has just splurged on a brand new full plate and I know this player is completely unawares of any repercussions of that choice. Yet I want to explain why NOONE ELSE will be wearing heavy armor. My solution will probably be along the lines of what would a magic item granting the benefits of the d20 Endure Elements spell cost? (Or what would a case of EE scrolls cost?) This is exactly the kind of items I imagine would be in high demand in the ToA situation. It would let me eat the cake and have it too - it would explain why most NPCs avoid heavy armor while giving an out to the character builds that can't or won't live without metal armor. They get the alternative to pay a considerable sum and/or reserve one of their attunement slots. This is the Realms I know, and this is the Realms my players want to play in.
