Posted Apr 6, 2022It would be cold at first, though once you get deep enough it would start getting really hot. Well, at least assuming that the setting you're in is on a round planet like earth that has a molten core.

Posted Apr 30, 2023The DMG rules for cold weather state that creatures adapted to cold climates don't suffer from weather-related debuffs, so polar bears already have the cold-weather resistance one would expect them to have. The devs probably just didn't want to further buff the best Wildshape form at this CR level.

Posted May 21, 2023Would a taiga/mountain region count as Arctic? I am planning on adding a few of these bears travelling there as an encounter :)

Posted Jun 30, 2023They do have warm coats which protect them from hypothermia, but cold resistance implies resisting low temperatures to a supernatural degree, to the point of shrugging off liquid nitrogen. Try dumping something like that all over a polar bear, and see how it fares. Spoiler alert: It's not gonna be any prettier than if you did the same thing to a human.

Posted Sep 3, 2023How does a Polar Bear, an animal that chooses to live in an arctic climate, not have Cold Damage Resistance??
Someone get Jeremy Crawford on the phone!
(I just played a one-shot with another PC who had a polar bear companion. It got full damage from being... too cold????)
