Frost Druid

Frost Druids

  Frost druids are solitary defenders of nature and the natural enemies of civilization in The Northern Wastes, and Northern Pelosia. They seek to preserve the arctic wilderness by destroying outsiders who cross their path. Each patrols its territory in the guise of a White Fox, a Mountain Goat, a Snowy Owl, or a Wolf, reverting to human form only when it attacks. Clever ambushers, they use hallucinatory terrain spells to create illusory snowdrifts under which they can hide, or to obscure pools covered by thin ice through which others might fall.

Awakened Companions

  A frost druid is often accompanied by one or more beasts, shrubs, or evergreen trees that it has made sentient using the awaken spell. These druids favour the White Bear, and the Elk as companions, and such creatures typically share the druids disposition.  

Ice Sickle

  A frost druid can carve a sickle out of ice, requiring a total of twenty four hours for the work. Bitter cold courses through this weapon while it's in the druid's hands. If the druid dies, the ice sickle melts away. The weapon is otherwise identical to a normal sickle.
