I now want a ring of perpetual room temp
WHOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA👀👀👀
Yeah, that checks out for a cleric of Sune.
A while back, Pathfinder even wrote up Red Sonja in a way that explains how she can survive arctic wasteland in metallic beachwear: boots of the winterlands. Maybe Elista might want to go see Sonja’s cobbler and see what else he’s got on his shelves.
Magic items: allowing for comfortable clothing optional since forever and a day.
Ring of Warmth – This wooden ring with a fur inner lining (depicting a small furry creature or two on the rings face commonly) protects the wearer from the cold of winter.
Or at least it used to! Fun D&D fact! In the rules change for 5e 2024 this little item was seen as redundant to the Ring of Cold Resistance, because it used to give cold resistance. Now it reduces cold damage taken by a roll of the dice! Which is neat, and makes it work with a ring of cold resistance, and makes it possible to be even better, reducing cold damage to zero when it’s very minor to begin with. However… it then goes on to say that it keeps the wearer and their gear protected from the cold at temperatures below 0 Fahrenheit. Now… That seems like a weird number to me seeing as freezing in Fahrenheit is 32, so the protection doesn’t kick in till you are well under freezing? So if you are in an area where its 5 degrees F and you are dying from the cold (taking exhaustion damage) your best option is to- get colder. Get 5 degrees colder and you’ll be protected by your magic item, instead of- using a fire to warm up or a blanket- no… I think it was a mistake that slipped through.
It makes me wonder whether the person or persons writing up magic items weren’t that good at physics … or just didn’t expect the players to know better. Or heck, maybe they flubbed up on the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit – and still ignored the fact that 0 C is unpleasant to be unprotected in.
As adventuring in cold weather goes, I like the option of A) bundling up in cold weather gear, B) casting Endure elements.
No Endure elements for 5e D&D, and I think someone pointed out why it’s 0F. For whatever reason, they determined 0F to be the number you start to suffer in game negative effects for being in the cold. Before that there are no game effects. Seems kinda nuts imo but since thats the rule it makes sense for the item to match the rule, just wish it said they were comfortable in cold environments as a nice ribbon feature to clear it up. Naturally i’d rule it that way as a DM but i dont DM games im a player in… XD
“Something like that” is not weary at all!
I too find her (lack of) clothes comfortable. Eat great and have a Hoppy New Year! 🍺
I once had a Tabaxi monk who lived amongst the desert sands, and had gotten quite accustomed with going around in near nothing at all because she had such thick fur that nothing was really showing. Safe to say that really flummoxed her companions who were freezing their figurative bits off on how she was able to withstand the cold. Her only reply when asked was “Mind over Matter”.
