Drying Off Beside Fires

[Haley Rose]

Spurned by this thread on drying off with towels

I had another suggestion.

Could another option for drying be sitting near fires? Within one pace or less away from either a hearth or a cookfire? This shouldn't dry someone instantly, but perhaps reduce a 15 minute dry time to a five minute dry time. Or make non-assisted drying 20 minutes and make fire drying ten minutes.

Seems thematic to me and gives hearths a bit more purpose in the game aside from crafting / light as well. Especially since hearths, to my knowledge, are rarely used for light...

That just made me think of something else. New topic incoming.

Towels are on the agenda, but I'm not sure we can/should do both in terms of prioritising work, etc. I think I prefer towels of the two, so will stick with those.
