Must have equipment

What is the meaning of life again?

How many roads must a man walk down?

And does he need a parachute, steel stakes and a towel?

[misterecho]

Sorry I meant what is the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything?

Or possibly "The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies and chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth and see those dear to them bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters. "

Depends on if you ask Douglas Addams or Genghis Khan.

and to hear the lamentation of their women

glad we sorted that.

What? Where'd the thread go?

The towel thing was a joke (at the time, not now).

My character was a cleric. All my D&D characters are clerics. So after his ablutions, he had some means of drying off. After trudging through a swamp, he had some means of wiping off. When kneeling to pray in a desert, he had something to kneel on. When rescuing the princess, he had some means of drying her eyes. It is in fact impossible to get through any day without using a towel several times, in real life at least.

But there is no rule penalizing dampness in AD&D or any RPG that I can think of.

So while the towel was constantly useful, it was never necessary.

Although now that I think about it, there was one time we got to shoot an invisible opponent with arrows because I hit him with a wet towel.

Sorry we were discussing Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, where a towel is very important to one of the central characters.

You're jest was well understood.
