Mountains

[dark_majico]

Lately I have been taking trips up to mount baratak, call me a masochist but shouldn't the cold affect characters more? Given the design of the areas, and the feed back about the cold it seems a bit like a walk in the park, all you need to get up to the Wizards tower is a warm winter cloak, thats the same sort of protection you need a ground level at winter. I think it would improve the feel of the mountains if the cold was stronger.

Are you sure it was just not a mild winter? I stopped even trying to go up there in winter without at least warm winter clothing. Even then I was having to use healing potions to just survive the trip.

Well we are in spring time now aren't we, I took a trip up that way in winter and I still didn't have any problems keeping warm with a worn winter cloak, in all the years I have played here I've never had any trouble in the mountains.

I don't think you've been in those mountains during the winter time in all your years of playing. The cold damage gets up to 20-40.

+1. That and the saves vs. cold are in the 80s. The mountains laugh at my dire craig cat boots with +2 save vs. cold.

no clue how you manage it without no real damage during the winter.

winters=no mountain climbing

There's a huge difference depending on time of year. In winter you can take 20+ even with a 10/- cold DR item which really does make life painful for those classes with low hit die.

Oh maybe your right...I dunno. I have been up in the mountains when there was snow placables on the ground and Ice on the lake by the mist camp, I assumed that was winter.

There are snow sprites because its the mountains. even regular mountains will have snow pretty much year round. Trust us...if your in the mountains in winter you'll know it.

No I was talking about snow placables on the ground at normal elevation.
