  1. A gallon of water weighs 8 lb. Oil is heavier than water, but I'm not sure how much heavier. I recall it wasn't much heavier.

    So a 50 gal barrel of oil would weigh 400 lb just for the oil. Is the barrel itself 75 lb?

  2. You're correct, of course. This discrepency came about when I had to "on the fly" come up with costs and weights for a 50 gallon barrel of oil to be dropped into the fungal dead undercroft. That should be 50 pints of oil, not 50 gallons.

  3. It would be fun to compile some sort of mega-equipment list from all the bloggers out here farting around. Ferinstance, just from looking over this one, I am pretty sure that my character is going to have to find a Mhyrakian watch lizard for the bargain price of 75 gp. Dunno what it does, but I sure hope it is like a watch dog...

  4. It is a lizard with a clock on its belly. They are also known as "two-faced lizards" and "Tick Tock Rock Reptiles."

    For +10 GP you can get a wrist-mounted model, which is known as a "Wristwatch Lizard."

  5. I guess it depends on the type of oil but the usual lamp oil -- olive oil -- is lighter than water.
