My ranger does well. It's the party that will suffer. Not because they're cold mind you, but because much like that one grandma everyone has, he insists on making everyone winter wear and is frighteningly adept at making you feel really bad for not wearing it despite being a big ass half orc.

They set rather specific guidelines for outerwear in private schools, especially since more western looking cold weather wear looks athletic and has an association with urban fashion.

Depends on the day-to-day weather. Sometimes a jacket is enough, other times he needs full arctic warfare gear. 30-mph gusts make wind chill and snowdrifts a bitch. Of course, magic makes pretty much all preparation irrelevant, but fuck you I'm roleplaying.

Huh, that actually makes sense, to a degree.
Though the latter is dumb, though being a private school rule that's nothing new.
I think we had a similar rule for trainers in PE, but no-one ever followed it

She's a capable life and forces mage, so she generally puts on just enough clothing so that her indifference to the cold won't stand out to the sleepers and then goes about her buisiness.

If she's out and about on strictly mage buisness, where there wont be any mundanes around, she'll just dress as nice/fashionably/appropriately for whoever we're meeting with as possible. She's one of the main negotiators so she needs to present herself well, plus it's a good way to subtly intimidate an adversary. If you've tramped out into the middle of the woods wrapped to your eyeballs in layers of clothing, sunk past your knees in snow, and shivering against the wind and your contact strolls into the clearing wearing a low-cut sleeveless dress and high-heels, standing on top of the snow (and therefore looming a few feet above you), and not even flushed, you can't help but be put on tilt at least a little. All without ever having having made anything that could possibly be construed as a threat.

It's easy in a country in which compulsory education ends at 15.

Americans have a right to education, and we don't have any classist notions of wear in our schools.

I think the state of dress is deplorable, but only private schools have the freedom here to enforce it.

It would be easier to simply authorize and subsidize club/organization attire in most US high schools: everyone gets to wear club clothing all the time instead of just athletes on Fridays

Boots that are good in near-Arctic Circle conditions aren't necessarily better in mild urban winter. Eskimo boots are intended to be breathable, so that the sweat of your own feet doesn't give you frostbite. This also makes them garbage when traversing the puddles and slush created by regular foot and vehicle traffic.

Go with normal winter boots. Your feet will thank you.

You don't have to replicate a material synthetically if the material already exists and is abundant in order to use it in a design which draws upon modern understanding of the physical properties of the material and thereby uses the material in an optimal way.

Or just makes enchanted gear to protect from the elements, if he has the time.

He usually doesn't, so the former is far more likely to happen.
>>
>>51708767
What the fuck are you going on about? You don't have to replicate a material entirely in order to improve upon it, and there are certainly advantages in using traditional materials in conjunction with non-traditional materials, in non-traditional designs, based on non-traditional knowledge.

The US Army did some studies on how heat escapes the body. Most of the heat escaped through the participants' heads, but that's because their heads were the only part of their bodies that weren't covered, so of course that's where the heat escaped. That's where it got started.

You have to ensure that everyone in that society can afford to buy their kids the school uniform if you require uniforms.

U.S. has too many poor people who wouldn't be able to afford them without difficulty. Simply put, in order to be able to have school uniforms universally requires more of a socialist welfare state. You can't get that level of social order without a certain minimum of economic equality. U.S. put all of its points into liberty so doesn't have enough equality to enforce order or order to enforce equality.
>>
>>51709368
Some schools in the US, including some public schools in poorer areas, provide uniforms or set a guideline (e.g. "white polo shirt and khakis") rather than a proper set-in-stone uniform.

Or at least some of them experimented with that. I dunno, it was years ago.
>>
>>51707416
One has never had to deal with them, and will not have to deal with them.
The second doesn't notice it and only changes clothes to blend in.

>>51707960
>It's the same rules that requires skirts even in winter.

>>
>>51707416
nothing - tough it out
>>
>>51708048
It's a money issue. Public schools are supposed to available to everyone, and so to exclude or discriminate against people who could not afford the uniform would defeat that purpose.

Hell, my Catholic high school had a uniform, but it was a generic white/dark blue polo (school name stenciled on it) with khakis. Fuck those shirts were low quality so any one could afford them. The administration justified one reason for the uniform so that "cliques based on clothing quality wouldn't form"

These things are basically how it went for us, and for the second part it may have even been relevant - the school was between two areas, one substantially richer, so it's not inconceivable that there would be more fights and things based on clothes

And the uniform was a very basic shirt and trousers with school tie and jumper (which was optional), meaning it was pretty affordable.

Though I do recall one school's contracted clothing supplier getting in shit for having a big mark-up on compulsory clothing that no-one else made
>>
>>51708662
Wool isn't waterproof unless it's coated in lanolin and thus still attached to the sheep.
Modern materials can make a jacket that's toasty warm without being inches thick, and also have multiple pockets.
They can also withstand impacts and high-speed friction without major damage, and also deal with high-speed winds. With reflective bits on so you don't vanish at night.

You really don't know anything, do you?

If they're relatively richer than me, s'all good. They can wipe their tears with the windshield wiper on that car that isn't older than they are.

Eh. It's pretty much like being a morally bankrupt normal person.

I sometimes forget that the US has people driving in high school.

Fuck, I was talking about their family car. Who the cunt is rich enough to afford cars for their kids, even if they're allowed to drive?

And my country doesn't. And my parents couldn't even afford to get me a bike, back in the day.

Normal people realise its never okay to assault someone because of how much money they have.

You are just a freak.

Normal people think it's okay to assault someone because they utter the words "yo mama".

You can get a ten year old car that is still functional and reliable for less than 1000 dollars, what an idiotic criteria. In most 1st world countries people with a part time job can afford a car at 17-18.

Getting a car for your 16th, 17th, or 18th birthday is a pretty normal thing in 'Murrica, and being able to afford it yourself by then is also pretty common.

No they don't. What gutter did you crawl out of, peasant?

Is the bottom line that everyone of the them Occupy Wall Street activists and other such folks is a crazy bozo?

But summoning a fire elemental does take a spell.

Also, wouldn't Protection from Fire mean you wouldn't actually warm up all that much?

>>51711549
Not necessarily. One of my best friends from high school came from a ridiculously rich family.
>>
>>51712013
Pretty much.

Chavs/ghetto trash/bogans/insert term here are not normal people.

In what country are you living?
>>
>>51712053
If you get it used, it's possible.
>>
>>51712008
I'm judging based on Americans I've spoken to. I come from an actual 1st world country, where people who assault others mostly just go for black people, and have no public support.

>>51711981
>less than 1000 dollars
At 16, I hadn't spent 1000 dollars if you count every last cent I ever spent.

Where I come from, we only allow child labour on summer jobs, and about 1/90 kids can get one of those.

>>51712140
Where are you living that people are willing to hire 17-year-olds?
>>
>>51712053
The UK. Most 17-20 year olds still live at home. If you work just 2 days a week you can easily make £100 a week.

Even if your parents charge you rent anybody who does not waste money on alcohol and other stupid shit can get a functional car in 2-3 months. Less than a year for a nicer one.

And its pretty common for parents to add in a few hundred as a birthday/Christmas/passing your driving test present. Even plenty of working class parents do that.
>>
>>51711981
Functional, sure.
Reliable, maybe

Running it, on the other hand, you tend to need help with from parents (even if it's just the named driver workaround).
Insurance for young drivers is often way more than the car

I got a weekend job at 16 while I was studying at college. The new guy at my current place is only 16 as well.

>>51712161
16 is not 'child labour'. Also anybody who is 11ish or older can get a paper round if they are willing to do lots of walking.
>>
>>51712191
Slav here, I would say this is more common all over Europe. I've been working weekend since 13, legally since 16. Never cared for a car but I was among the first kid in the town to have laptop.
Plus there's good couple other ways child can make money that aren't contractual labor.

>>51712183
Texas. There are always jobs over the summer if you're willing to work in the heat. And fast food joints are always looking for disposable meat. And restaurants always want people in the dish rooms. Hell, my sister got a job as a waitress when she was 16 at an average restaurant. You just have to be willing to work after school, weekends and school breaks.
