A frost giant’s hair can be light blue or dirty yellow, and its eyes usually match its hair color. Frost
giants dress in skins and pelts, along with any jewelry they own. Frost giant warriors add chain shirts
and metal helmets decorated with horns or feathers.
An adult male is about 15 feet tall and weighs about 2,800 pounds. Females are slightly shorter and
lighter, but otherwise identical with males. Frost giants can live to be 250 years old.
COMBAT
Frost giants usually start combat at a distance, throwing rocks until they run out of ammunition or the
opponent closes, then wading in with their enormous battleaxes.
 A favorite tactic is to lay an ambush by hiding buried in the snow at the top of an icy or snowy
slope, where opponents will have difficulty reaching them.
Rock Throwing (Ex): The range increment is 120 feet for a frost giant’s thrown rocks.

FROST GIANT CHARACTERS

Many groups of frost giants include clerics. A frost giant cleric has access to two of the following
domains: Chaos, Destruction, Evil, or War (most choose Destruction or War, some choose both).

Rock Catching (Ex) A giant can catch Small, Medium, and Large rocks (or projectiles of similar shape). Once per
round, a giant that would normally be hit by a rock can make a Reflex save to catch it as a free action. The
DC is 15 for a Small rock, 20 for Medium one, and 25 for a Large one. (if the projectile provides a magical
bonus on attack rolls, the DC increases by that amount.) The giant must be ready for and aware of the attack
in order to make a rock catching attempt.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Blind-Fight - Benefit: In melee, every time you miss because of concealment, you can reroll your miss chance
percentile roll one time to see if you actually hit.
An invisible attacker gets no advantages related to hitting you in melee. That is, you don’t lose your Dexterity
bonus to Armor Class, and the attacker doesn’t get the usual +2 bonus for being invisible. The invisible
attacker’s bonuses do still apply for ranged attacks, however.
You take only half the usual penalty to speed for being unable to see. Darkness and poor visibility in general
reduces your speed to three-quarters normal, instead of one-half.
Improved Bull Rush – Benefit: When you perform a bull rush you do not provoke an attack of opportunity from
the defender. You also gain a +4 bonus on the opposed Strength check you make to push back the defender.
Improved Overrun - Benefit: When you attempt to overrun an opponent who is at least one size category smaller
than you, the target cannot avoid you. If you knock down your opponent, you immediately get an attack of
opportunity against that opponent, gaining the standard +4 bonus on attack rolls against prone targets.
Benefit PH 3.5: When you attempt to overrun an opponent, the target may not choose to avoid you. You also
gain a +4 bonus on your Strength check to knock down your opponent.

FROST GIANT JARL
A frost giant leader is often a
barbarian, cleric, fighter, or
sorcerer, but some of the most
evil and ruthless frost giants
become blackguards.
The frost giant jarl described
here has all the qualities and
abilities of a typical frost giant,
as well as other abilities (see the
statistics block) from being a
blackguard. Details on some of
these abilities follow.
Aura of Despair (Su): This jarl
radiates a malign aura that
causes enemies within 10 feet of
him to take a –2 penalty on all
saving throws.
Aura of Evil (Ex): This jarl radiates a
strong aura of evil (see the detect
evil spell) as an 8th-level cleric of
an evil deity.
Command Undead (Su): This jarl can
command and rebuke undead as
a 6th-level cleric.
Dark Blessing (Su): This jarl applies
his Charisma modifier as a bonus
on all saving throws.
Detect Good (Sp): At will, this jarl
can use detect good as a spell-
like ability, duplicating the effect
of the detect good spell.
Poison Use: Blackguards are skilled
in the use of poison and never risk
accidentally poisoning themselves
when applying poison to a blade.
Smite Good (Su): Twice per day, this
jarl may attempt to smite good
with one normal melee attack. He
adds his +4 Charisma modifier to
his attack roll and deals 8 points of
extra damage (1 per blackguard
level) if the attack hits. If he
accidentally smites a creature
that is not good, the smite has no
effect but it is still used up for that
day.
Typical Blackguard Spells Prepared

weapon; 2nd—bull’s strength.

Blindsense (Ex) Dragons can pinpoint creatures within a distance of 60 feet. Opponents the dragon can't
actually see still have total concealment against the dragon.
Breath Weapon (Su) A white dragon has one type of breath weapon, a cone of cold.
Freezing Fog (Sp): An old or older white dragon can use this ability three times per day. It is similar to a solid fog
spell but also causes a rime of slippery ice to form on any surface the fog touches, creating the effect of a
grease spell. The dragon is immune to the grease effect because of its icewalking ability. This ability is the
equivalent of a 5th-level spell.
Icewalking (Ex) This ability works like the spider climb spell, but the surfaces the dragon climbs must be icy. It is
always in effect.
Keen Senses (Ex) A dragon sees four times as well as a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in
normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet.
Skills Hide, Move Silently, and Swim are considered class skills for white dragons.
