      3rd'ed. And perhaps a +1 Charisma bonus too.

        Yeah, rCold!
        If you can convincingly pretend you're crazy, you probably are.

            Maybe should start a poll.

            I wouldn't be surprised with the results!

                  It's really quite tempting to add that.
                  takkaria whispers something about options. -more-

                    Long live rCold.

                    Maybe dashed with just a pinch of flavor.

                      I know that time resistance is tempting, but don't do it!

                        Maybe make an ego type "of warmth" or something that fur cloaks can become - but it seems kind of odd for fur cloaks to be the only base item that consistently gives resists (other than the dragon scale mail).

                        (EDIT: if you *really* feel the need to add cold resistance to the cloak that is. Which I don't think it needs.)

                          Then why not add more?

                          I'm in favor of base types that Do Stuff. Heres some ideas...

                          -- Already in V --
                          Mithril Shield - back to the old Shield of Deflection? RLight or RShards?
                          Pair of Ethereal Slippers - Feather Falling
                          Ethereal Cloak - back to the old Shadow Cloak, RDark?

                          -- New stuff --
                          Elven Boots (or Felt-soled Shoes?) - Stealth
                          Troll Hide Armour - Regen
                          Berserker Helm or Dragon Helm - RFear

                            You guys are all crazy. A fur cloak is a thermal insulator, nothing more. Whatever effect is has upon magical cold attacks, it should have an equal effect with respect to magical fire attacks. I would not be surprised if leather scale mail [with its lining] has just as many insulative properties as a fur cloak.

                            Resistances are magic. Please leave it that way.

                            If you want to invent some particular magic animal, with magical fur, then that's OK. Preferably a unique that you have to hunt to get it. Otherwise, please just accept fur as the simple description it was intended to be.
