... I wonder what sort of legit Temperature numbers got published over the years ...

A) I had a thread that did this and more. It was about binding the ruling Devils and making them do a battle royale for the evil wizard lulz

B) Do I need to repost my deduced temperature bands?

Oh really ... (googles for quite awhile) ... dang it, didn't find either.
Are they back at BG, or perhaps giantitp?
Do you have those links handy, cause it looks like otherwise unexplored territory.
I'd say Pretty  Please, but y'know   

[Childe]

The item gives you a +10 untyped bonus to diplomacy, and allows everyone within 200 feet of you hear you clearly, bypassing both loud noises and magical silence. It costs a clean 5,250 GP.

Really ought to throw on a +1 competence-enchanted Night Crystal masterwork tool as well though. 225gp for +6 competence and +7 circumstance. You know, to get you through the low levels... or something. >_>

Add Soul of Green Walls and other nasty tricks to taste. Serve cold with a silver tongue.

That of course I can't actually claim credit for though. It also might not be legal, not sure. Plus, we're already second party so you may as well splurge and get one made by that Dragonlance PC Expert class for the real +15 Circumstance deal.

EDIT: If you increase the competence bonus by 2, and toss the feats Bind Vestige, and Bind Vestige, Improved onto the items (using the rules from the Arms and Equipment Guide), you can actually become a basic Diplomancer able to get an enemy from Hostile to Helpful as a standard action for the grand total of 28,625 GP. This is with literally no ranks in Diplomacy and +0 Charisma modifier.

EDIT2: Or for you E6 buffs out there, you can just pick up the basic pack: 7,125 GP for +30 to your checks and the 200' loudspeaker effect. Includes a Masterwork Tool that's also a +1 Competence Item, the Trumpet thing, and the Eloquence Choker.

[Prime32]

Dungeon #105 has the Ceremonial Armor template on p71. Half the normal AC + weight + ASF, +1 max Dex, -2 armor check penalty, and doesn't reduce the wearer's speed.

Stick it on a suit of masterwork Thaluud Stone Armor (Aunoroch: Empires of Shade) and craft it from blended quartz (Arms & Equipment Guide). End result: a nonmagical suit of heavy armor granting +6 AC/+1 Dex/-4 ACP/0% ASF and letting you move at 30ft speed. Costs 16,050gp and weighs 180lbs.

I'm wondering if there's any particular options that the armor remaining heavy opens up...

[zook1shoe]

Couldn't you riverine it instead for +33% higher overall AC bonus

[wotmaniac]

I don't remember seeing this, so here ya go:

No more improvised weapon penalty:
From Dragonlance War of the Lance:

Improvise Weapon [General]
A character with this feat gains the ability to make better
use of mundane items as improvised weapons.
Prerequisite: Appraise 1 rank.
Benefit: With at least a full round action to acquaint
himself with the item’s weight and properties, the
character can reduce the penalty for making an attack with
an improvised weapon to -2.
Normal: Without this feat, using an improvised
weapon incurs a –4 penalty to attacks.
Special: A fighter may take this feat as one of his bonus
fighter feats.

Greater Improvise Weapon [General]
A character with this feat learns to master the use of
improvised weapons.
Prerequisite: Improvised Weapon.
Benefit: The character can now ignore the penalty for
making an attack with an improvised weapon.
Normal: Without this feat, using an improvised
weapon incurs a –4 penalty to attacks.
Special: A fighter may take this feat as one of his bonus
fighter feats.

[zook1shoe]

Was the only real other way Drunken Master?

[wotmaniac]

Was the only real other way Drunken Master?

Basically; at least as far as broad-spectrum goes.
I mean, Rock Throwing gets you rocks; and Gnome Calculus gets you flasks and other sundries.  But that's all very specific. 
And even drunken master had a severely extended ramp-up time.

here's the data dump of me extrapolating expanded temperatures and their environmental effects as close to RAW as possible:

260 in sunlight EE unearthly   (3d10/round) flash boil water
230      EE severe   (1d6l+1d4n/r) fast boil
200+ burning   EE extreme   3d10/r -> 1d6lethal,1d4non/10min slow boil
180+ unearthly   EE severe   1d6leth, 1d4non /round -> 1d4non /10min
140+ extreme   EE hot      1d6leth, 1d4non /10min-> 1d6nonlethal per hour

-80 to   ee cold      (0d6cold, 1d4nonlethal with save / hour)
-110   ee severe   (0d6cold, 1d6nonlethal with save / 10min)
-140   ee extreme   (1d6cold, 1d4nonlethal with save / 10min)
-170   ee unearthly   (1d6cold, 1d4nonlethal / min)
-200   c3      (1d6cold, 2d4nonlethal / min)
-230   s3      (1d6cold, 2d6nonlethal / round)
-260   e3      (2d6cold, 2d6nonlethal / round)
-290   u3   air starting to liquify (12d6cold, 12d6nonlethal / round)

After this point things get nasty with the heatflow rate and wondering if PCs boil / decompress.

Interesting. I might need to borrow that for my orb project, which, among other things, rewrites Core temperature handling in order to make orb of cold actually make sense.

Dragon Mag 330 barbarian rage variant.

Page 84
Implacable (Barbarian Variant)
*Loses Fast Movement, gains rage with DR.
Resilient Rage: Instead of normal rage bonuses, gain +4 to Dexterity, +2 to Constitution, +2 to Will Saves, and damage reduction 1/-.  This temporary damage reduction stacks with the permanent damage reduction the implacable gains at higher levels.
At 11th level, the bonuses increase to +6 Dexterity, +6 Constitution, and DR 2/-.  At 20th level the bonuses improve to +8 Dexterity, +8 Constitution, and DR 3/-.

This is the only rage variant that grants Dex and Con together.

Presumably this variant has the same duration and number of uses per day as regular rage.

[Maat Mons]

Cipactli (Dragon 317, p63) are giant lizard-monsters with the magical beast type.  They have an extraordinary special quality called earthen form that gives them immunity to effects that require a fortitude save.  As best I recall, the only other way to get that immunity is via the construct or undead type.  It might be useful for an illithid savant or something. 

[PlzBreakMyCampaign]

Not so. Way harder is the immunity to necromantic effects.

[Necrosnoop110]

Any stuff out there for Wilders?

Thanks,
Neckii

[Jackinthegreen]

Dragonlance - Races of Ansalon has these little gems:

Tooth chain (pages 230 and 231)  Reach + adjacent 1h exotic weapon, slashing, +2 on disarms and can trip, and creatures damaged by it must make a Fort save DC attack roll - 10 or be stunned for one round because of the tearing pain of being hit.  Creatures immune to crits are immune to this effect.

Horizon bow (page 232) functions like a regular (composite) longbow, but you can make a charge attack with it.  The text is "You can charge with a horizon bow, making a single ranged attack at the end of your movement."

The forpann on page 231 is a double and reach weapon, but one end of it is a net.

[Arz]

Direct citation to use third party material, and a good way to grab Practiced Mindblade for a Soulbow build.

Bonus Feats
You sacrifice power for skill and technique.
Level: 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th.
Replaces: You lose all psychic strike class abilities at the above levels.
Benefit: In place of the psychic strike class ability, you gain a bonus feat at each level above. You may choose any feat designed for soulknives (such as those in Complete Psionic) or any feat that your mind blade can benefit from, such as Power Attack or Improved Critical (also see the mind blade feats in Dragon Magazine #341 in the "Class Acts: Adventurer" article). You must meet any prerequisites for the feat you choose.

Pretty sure that came from a first party source, namely from the WotC website articles on expanded classes.  Dragon Magazine is a 2nd party source, though.

Nice memory (or guess?).

Memory.  I've used that article a couple times
