When death claims you, it awakens an icy, unrelenting force within, binding you to the will of prophecy and the power of frost and shadow.
1. Cold Immunity:
You are immune to cold damage and the effects of freezing temperatures. You ignore difficult terrain caused by ice or snow and leave no tracks behind on cold surfaces.
2. Frostbound Resurrection:
When you are reduced to 0 hit points and killed outright (either by massive damage or failing death saving throws), you rise immediately as a Cold One.
In this form:
- You gain 50 temporary hit points.
- You become undead, and your type changes to Undead.
- You are immune to nonmagical damage, except from weapons that are at least +1 magical or imbued with magic.
- You are immune to poison, exhaustion, and disease.
- You can only be healed by magical healing (nonmagical healing has no effect).
- You retain your mental faculties, but your appearance becomes ghastly, with frost-rimmed features, icy veins, and glowing, spectral eyes.
- Frozen Advance: You can ignore difficult terrain caused by ice or snow.
If these 50 hit points are reduced to 0, you are dead and cannot be revived except through means such as Revivify, Raise Dead, or similar spells.
3. Magical Restoration Required:
Your Cold One form ends early if you are healed by magical means. When this happens:
- You immediately revert to your living form with any remaining hit points from the magical healing applied.
