Well this thread is going places...

My fiance said the exact same thing to the midwife. There's a look that midwife gave that I wish I could replicate here.

Oh, one short question that came up during one of my lessons today:

You can say: Sweatshirts are warmer than tshirts. (right?)
But can't say: Tshirts are colder than sweatshirts.


Yes, that would be correct, Z. You could say a t-shirt is cooler than a sweatshirt or that you would be colder wearing a t-shirt than if you wore a sweatshirt.


I'm no english professor but I'll take a kick at the can.

It should be t-shirts are less warm than sweatshirts.
If you're being a stickler on formal grammar rules.
Colloquially, the other version serves just as well


Male Gnome Sorcerer/9 - (HP: 49/49 - AC20;FF17;T18 - F+5;R+6;W+7 - Init+9 - Per+11)

I believe you are correct. Warmer in this case is being use relative to the warmth provided by the clothing. However, oddly enough, colder would not be the opposite of warmer in this case. You could have a warm sweatshirt, or a warm pair of pants, but not a cold shirt or pair of pants. Instead, the tshirt would be not as warm as the sweatshirt.

Someone else can correct me, but there are a lot of situations in English where what seems like a logical opposite in fact does not work.

trying mini updates where possible.

Correct use of comparative grammar.

I concur with my global english speaking fellows.

Hey I am an American. I am not going to go so far as to claim proficiency in English.

Hello. I hope you don't mind me posting in here, but this thread seems to get referenced in my other games often enough that I started following it.

Someone else can correct me, but there are a lot of situations in English where what seems like a logical opposite in fact does not work.

I would say "cool" and "warm" are opposed, and "hot" and "cold" are opposed. Outside of "cool/warm" being a weaker form of "hot/cold", I can't really define where to use what.

I think "cool/warm" is more about one's perception, and "hot/cold" more physical states. (I was cold, so I put on a warm sweater.)

Then you run into more problems like:

She looks really hot in that cool sweater.
or
She looks really cool in that hot sweater.

Ahhhh, girls in hot sweaters.....what a glorious thing they are.

Hey sorry I've been quiet, I have had a busy week full of papers and exams. I'll be pretty busy now until the 20th but then I'll be going home so I'll have more time to post!

So washed out, so hung over, so keen to see where HoRunes goes this round..!

Harry gets smacked about some more probably knocked out. Karlan walks in mildly annoyed and gets either one shotted or moderately annoyed and then rips people apart while MArek has terrible terrible flashbacks about mammy graul touching him in his no-no places.


VC - Sydney, Australia

Meh, she's gonna need to do a lot of damage to get him down, that said, I was stunned to see her barely scratched given the heavy hit Harry opened up with and then topped off with some lightning. I had figured at this level, for a non-end Boss, she'd be pretty much cactus by now.

Maybe she started in the Catholic clergy before becoming an ogress necromancer.


Male Orc Expert 5

Well Vaughn consider that adventurers might consider what they do as a profession and, yes, everything has a price. Even a holy paladin would rather have more tools for smiting evil than a fancy vanity piece over the mantle that he never goes home to. :)

It's not a phenomenon unique to 3.5. It's one unique to almost all games ever.


VC - Sydney, Australia

And in fairness, it's actually a pretty typical mindset to those in the 'profession of arms'.

I know quite a few 'Contractors' and the trend I have noticed is that despite being paid pretty well, they certainly live pretty spartan/utilitarian lives. They don't buy nice/cool things, theydon't buy pimp clothing, they just buy more 'kit'. The things they USE are of good quality, well built, reliable, and often custom made. Anything they don't use they get rid of, a good idea when you move residences every five minutes.

Soldiers abhor 'clutter' because we know its just more sh*t to move and/or clean.

Besides, why would Alchy stick on to a sword when it doesn't help him build his Hipster macro wholefood organic coffee beat poetry and bongo cafe with alfalfa growing on the walls and moon channeling crystals on the roof?

Really, it comes down to your character and their goals. If their whole goal is to simply go down holes and kill monsters (like in this case thats pretty much what we are doing, this isn't Kingmaker!), the the rule of cool is pretty much void. They don't keep interesting stuff, they sell it for more arrows and swords. If the character has a larger macro plot, then the 'rule of cool' comes into it a bit more.
In a game where you build your own Thieves guild or 'gear' is less important you can be flew. Where Gear>All then everything becomes a commercial consideration.

99.9% of campaigns just don't allow for it.

On a practical level, everyone has to earn a living. Imagine you busted your backside at work for the last six months and didn't get paid a dime. On the last day the boss walks in and goes, "Good work fellas, great job. Here's a brand new Lamborghini". All six of you then look at each other... Pretty much that's what just happened to us.

More or less.

Basically - six months in a dungeon, one single item as the reward, not a copper else.

That thing is getting ebayed hard.

I've finished my last final for this semester. All I really want to do now is sleep for the next month.


Dungeon Master

Are you suggesting we bring it down to the bazaar of secrets and auction it off?


Ysoki

Now there's an idea DMHW...

Male Gnome Sorcerer/9 - (HP: 49/49 - AC20;FF17;T18 - F+5;R+6;W+7 - Init+9 - Per+11)

This seems more like Mama Graul's Theme Song.
