==Frostburn== [[File:Frostburn.jpg|thumb]] ''Frostburn'' focuses on taiga and tundra environments as well as supernaturally cold planes. On the crunch side, it adds a bunch of ice themed abilities. Mechanically it is notorious for introducing the Shivering Touch spell, which does 3d6 (~10.5) points of dexterity damage that stacks with itself for a third level spell. This spell is absolutely bonkers since enemies rarely have that high a dexterity score, and even ones that do will rarely survive multiple hits from it. Frostburn is home to the following player races: * [[Dwarf]] subrace: Glacier Dwarf * [[Elf]] subrace: Snow Elf * [[Gnome]] subrace: Ice Gnome * [[Halfling]] subrace: Tundra Halfling * [[Neanderthal]] * [[Uldra]] It's also home to the following monsters: * Branta: A large, horse-like tundra herbivore with twin nose horns. * Chilblain: An icy [[aberration]] vaguely resembling a [[scorpion]] made of ice. * Dire Animals: Dire Polar Bear, Gylptodon, Megaloceros, Smilodon, Woolly Mammoth, Zeuglodon * [[Domovoi]]: A small, [[brownie]]-like fey that inhabits humanoid homes to share their hearths. Taken from a Russian house sprite. Also a PC race. * Dwarf, Glacier * Dwarf, Midgard: A magical branch of the [[dwarf]] family tree, basically a more "mythically accurate" version of the Nordic dwarf. No PC stats are given, but their main abilities are the ability to lay a powerful Curse once per year, and to shapeshift into a single specific Small animal, and they are typed as Native Outsider rather than humanoid. * [[Elemental Weird]]: Ice Weird, Snow Weird * Entombed: An undead creature created from somebody killed by magical cold attack, encasing them in a protective shell of ice. * [[Frost Folk]]: A human offshoot who struck a bargain with a dark entity of the cold, granting them protection against the cold and the ability to use it as a weapon. Also a PC race. * [[Genie]], Qorrashi: A icy brach of the genie family, believed to be an arctic branch of the [[djinn]] family. * Frostfell Ghost: A unique template for arctic ghosts. * [[Frost Giant]]: Three new statblocks based on the iconic icy giant [[viking]]s of D&D. * Goblin, Snow: A variant [[goblin]] adapted for life in the arctic. Also a PC race. * [[Golem]], Ice * Ice Beast: A magical construct consisting of an ice sculpture of an ordinary monster animated by magic. * Ice Toad: A species of giant toad magically adapted to life in the arctic, imbued with the ability to radiate lethal cold. * Icegaunt: A sapient undead that arises from the freeze-dried corpses of those who died in the arctic. Essentially the Ice [[Mummy]] as its own creature. * Malasynep: An [[aberration]] that resembles a prehistoric, carnivorous whale, but one able to swim through ice and snow as well as water. * Marzanna: A unique strain of [[hag]] native to the Frostfell. * [[Neanderthal]] * [[Orc]], Snow Shaman: An [[orc]] spellcaster native to the Frostfell. * [[Slime|Pudding, White]]: An arctic-adapted version of the Black Pudding. * Raven, Giant * Rimefire Eidolon: A bizarre [[fey]] created from the remnants of the frostfell goddess Hleid, resembling a chunk of ice radiating freezing blue fire that walks about on many tentacles. * Rusalka: A [[nymph]]-like aquatic [[fey]], the spirit of frostfell rivers, lakes and streams. Basically an arctic [[dryad]], but for water rather than trees. * Shivhad: An enormous [[aberration]] that resembles a nightmarish, [[hydra]]-like mishmash of arctic king grab and a nest of lampreys. * Snowcloak: A two-headed, manta ray-like [[aberration]]. * Spider, Snow: Assorted arctic-adapted giant spiders. * Spirit Animals: Nature spirits of animals, what did you think they were? * Tlalusk: A bizarre, six-legged, horned, tusked, alien-looking tundra herbivore. * [[Uldra]] * Urskan: A race of armor-wearing warlike humanoid polar bears. * [[Vodyanoi]]: A male aquatic [[fey]] that inhabits the rivers and lakes of the frostfell. * Winterspawn: Powerful undead warriors that wield weapons of enchanted ice and which can employ freezing magic against their foes. * [[Yeti]] * [[Yuki-onna]] * Animal, Arctic: Caribou, Arctic Fox, Sea Otter, Penguin, Seal, Walrus
