I am curious to see what sort of units the Italian RPG Lex Arcana uses. Like most American RPGs, it is set in a time period for which metric units would be jarringly out of place, but it is being written for an audience that to the best of my knowledge is far more comfortable with metric units than with Imperial units of measurement.

The Fahrenheit scale was devised in 1724 (the scale devised by Anders Celsius was proposed in 1742). I don't know how much of a consistent temperature scale there was in medieval times.

If thermometers don't exist, then the only reasonable way to describe temperatures would be with various adjectives, comparative adverbs, and (in extreme cases) profanity.

I don't know how many threads we've had about switching to metric for Pathfinder 2. I think this is at least the 3rd. This is at least 2 more than needed.
However, let me give you a preview of the answer.

As I mentioned already, I would much rather they drop distance and temperature measurements altogether and adopt a simpler system based on squares and temperature steps.

Good to know. Thanks for injecting reality.

I actually agree incredibly. The temperature scale and distance scale are completely arbitrary for in game purposes.
But it's not going to happen either.
