[b]Arcane Boost (Su)[/b] Auril has the ability to burn arcane energy to empower her martial abilities. As a swift action, she can spend one of her uncast spells or spell slots to grant herself one of the following insight bonuses for 1 round. • Bonus on attack rolls equal to the spell's level. • Bonus on weapon damage rolls equal to twice the spell's level. • Bonus to AC equal to the spell's level. • Bonus on saving throws equal to the spell's level. • Resistance to acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic equal to 5 × the spell's level. [b]Arcane Reabsorption[/b] Auril knows how to possibly regain magical energy when outside forces attempt to disrupt her magic. Whenever a targeted spell she casts fails to penetrate a creature's spell resistance or is countered by another spellcaster, she can immediately attempt to reabsorb the arcane energy she just spent as an immediate action. The spell can have no effect at all in order to use this ability. By making a Spellcraft check (DC 20 + [spell level × 3]), she regains the spell slot as if it was never cast. Attempting this taxes her body. Regardless of the success of the check, she takes 1 point of nonlethal damage per spell level she attempts to reabsorb. This damage is internal and bypasses damage reduction and resistances she possesses. Auril has traded away her ability to summon a familiar for this ability. [b]Chill Metal (Su)[/b] As a standard action, Auril can lower the air temperature around her drastically. All creatures and objects within a 60-foot radius are affected by [i]chill metal[/i] (as the spell, Will DC 64 negates). As with the spell, it takes 3 rounds for affected metal to reach the freezing stage. Once it does, it remains at that stage until she takes a standard action to end the effect or the metal leaves the area. The metal returns to its starting temperature 2 rounds later, just as with the spell. [b]Divinity [/b]Auril is an embodiment of ancient divine power. As such, reality is hers to shape as she sees fit. [i]Alter Reality:[/i] Auril may alter reality within the bounds of her portfolio. This functions as a wish spell that requires no XP or material cost. The limits of this ability are fully described in Deities and Demigods. She can additionally alter her size from Fine to Colossal and may additionally alter up to 100 pounds of objects in the same manner. [i]Avatar:[/i] Auril can have up to five avatars at any given time. She favors two forms; as the Frostmaiden, she is a lithe, furious figure of action and is the most often seen avatar of Auril in all regions of Faerûn except the south and east. Her skin is blue, her hair is long, free-flowing, and white, and a fine gown of white lawn thickly furred with frost swirls about her. The Icedawn is a silent, gliding apparition of icy hauteur, an impassive figure with an ornate crown and hooked, spurred armor of opaque, light blue ice. [i]Divine Blast:[/i] Auril can create a ray of divine power that extends for up to 9 miles, dealing up to 27d12 points of damage, as a ranged touch attack with no saving throw. Auril can unleash a divine blast 21 times per day, and alter the visual, auditory and sensation-based qualities of her divine blast as she desires. Auril’s divine blasts generally take the form of blinding white blasts of bone-chilling frost. [i]Divine Shield:[/i] As a free action 21 times per day, Auril can create a shield that lasts 10 minutes and stops 90 points of damage from attacks. Once the shield stops that much damage, it collapses. Any damage Auril is naturally immune to does not count towards the shield’s limits. [b]Elemental Perfection[/b] Auril, through long association with elemental entities and extensive study of their secrets, has gained an elemental creature's immunity to stunning, and she is no longer subject to extra damage from critical hits or flanking. She gains the speed and movement modes, natural attacks, special attacks, and special qualities of an ice monolith. Anyone who shares Auril’s predilection for study of cold immediately recognizes her transcendent nature. She gains a +2 circumstance bonus on all Charisma-based skill and ability checks when interacting with creatures that share her elemental subtype (water) and with other elemental savants who have chosen her element. Note that Auril does not gain the elemental type, as it is superseded by her natural divinity. [b]Elemental Specialty (Ex)[/b] When Auril casts a spell that normally deals energy damage, its energy descriptor changes to cold, and it deals damage of that energy type instead of its normal energy type. For example, if Auril casts Melf's acid arrow, the spell would deal fire damage and have the fire descriptor instead of dealing acid damage and having the acid descriptor. [b]Energy Focus (Ex)[/b] Auril is better able to manipulate energy associated with her chosen element. The save DC for any spell with the cold descriptor increases by 2. At 10th level, these save DCs increase by 1 again (total increase of 2). [b]Energy Penetration (Ex)[/b] Auril has further refined her ability to wield energy associated with her chosen element. When she casts a cold spell, she gains a +4 competence bonus on caster level checks (1d20 + caster level) to overcome a creature's spell resistance. [b]Extended Abjuration (Su)[/b] Auril depends on her abjuration spells to protect her in combat. She doubles the duration of abjuration spells she casts, as if she had applied the Extend Spell feat to them (but without any change in level or casting time). [b]Frostmaiden (unique salient divine ability)[/b] Auril is the fury and wrath of the northern frost made manifest. As a full round action, Lady Frostkiss can abstain from any action or movement to concentrate the fury of winter within her being and manifest as the Frostmaiden. As the Frostmaiden, Auril gains a +60 ft bonus to her land speed, a +6 bonus to her attack and damage rolls, and a +6 bonus to her caster level and spell save DCs; this bonus increases by +6 in areas of cold and by +6 in areas of extreme cold. Her spells are further enhanced by winter’s chill; any spell or spell-like ability spell cast by the Frostmaiden with the cold descriptor or that does cold damage is automatically empowered and quickened. In addition, the Frostmaiden may brand up to 8 creatures with a melee touch attack unless a successful Fortitude save (DC 64) is made. Failure inflicts 8d8 points of frostburn damage and the appearance of a permanent translucent blue scar that sears through flesh, wood and stone alike. Auril is always aware of any creature that bears her brand as long as they occupy the same plane, and, as a free action, can scry (as [i]greater scrying[/i]) on it regardless of distances or planar boundaries unless blocked by a deity of equal rank or higher. Auril can hear, speak (including cast spells), touch and see through any creature that bears the brand. She can dominate (as dominate monster) any creature that bears her brand unless a Will save (DC 64) is successful. Crueler still, Auril can command her brand to engulf the creature and explode, forcing it to succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 64). If the saving throw succeeds, the creature suffers 16d8 frostburn damage but is otherwise unharmed and cured of the Brand. If the saving throw fails, the creature is consumed by the brand and dies, and all creatures within 20 feet of the subject take 1d6 points of frostburn damage per two Hit Dice of the slain creature and are also exposed to the effect of the Frostmaiden’s brand. [b]Icedawn (unique salient divine ability)[/b] Auril is winter in all its forms, embodying its steadfast, unyielding approach as she does its wrath. As a full round action during which she can take no action, the Cold Goddess can envelop herself in the inevitability of winter and manifest as the Icedawn. The Icedawn does not hurl spells or bandy words but gains a fly speed equal to her land speed with perfect maneuverability, trailing a thick rime of ice that coats everything in her wake. In this form, the cold aura granted by her Remorseless Winter salient divine ability is even more potent within close range; non-magical or non-sentient plants within 90 ft of the Icedawn die instantly, while plant creatures and magical or sentient plants must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 64) or be forced into hibernation. Living creatures not immune to cold must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 64) each round for as long as they remain within 90 ft of the Icedawn or die. Creatures immune to cold instead suffer 3d6 points of piercing cold damage each round for as long as they remain within the same radius. The Icedawn’s presence is so cold that non-magical metals, stonework and liquids freeze within range of her chill aura and shatter upon coming within 90 ft of her. Magical liquids are allowed a Fortitude save (DC 64) to avoid becoming frozen and useless. Magical metals and stonework suffer the effects of Auril’s [i]chill metal[/i] ability as described previously (Will DC 64). Magical weaponry instead suffers the effects of [i]brumal stiffening[/i] unless a Fortitude save (DC 64) is made. Constructs of any sort are particularly affected by her presence; any construct within 90 ft of the Icedawn must make a Fortitude save (DC 64) or shatter into icy chunks. Any construct that strikes her is affected by brittleskin with no saving throw. Finally, the Icedawn’s glacial nature makes all but the most powerful spells find it difficult to affect her. She reflects all spells of 6th level or lower back upon their source as per [i]spell turning.[/i] A curious side-effect of this manifestation is that the Icedawn claims the life of any Aurilian cleric present without a saving throw as a death effect that ignores all forms of immunity, although the cleric can later be raised or resurrected normally. [b]Icewalking (Ex)[/b] This ability works like the [i]spider climb[/i] spell, but the surfaces Auril climbs must be icy. It is always in effect. [b]Martial Arcanist (Ex)[/b] Auril has mastered the art of combining her militant and mystical training. Her unmodified sorcerer caster level is equal to her base attack bonus (38). [b]One with Cold (Ex)[/b] Auril has become perfectly adapted to cold energy. She has the cold subtype, granting her immunity to cold. Her oneness with cold, however, makes her more susceptible to flame. Just like any other creature with the cold subtype, she gains vulnerability to fire, which means she takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from fire, regardless of whether or not a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or a failure. [b]Piercing Cold[/b] Auril has Piercing Cold as a bonus metamagic feat. In addition to the normal benefits of the feat, she bypasses all resistances and immunities to cold granted by spells and spell-like effects of magic items (for example, a [i]ring of minor energy resistance [cold][/i]). [b]Remorseless Winter (unique salient divine ability)[/b] Auril is the primordial essence of winter itself. Her magic, breath, kiss and even presence is as remorseless as the coldest polar midnight. Auril treats all spells with the cold descriptor as part of the arcane spell list and her Elemental Perfection ability confers upon her the properties of an ice monolith (Dragon Magazine #347 pages 54-55) instead of a water elemental. This has already been incorporated into the above statistics. In any form, the Cold Goddess is always wreathed in a horrific chill that envelops a radius of 900 ft. around her, which is treated as an area of extreme cold. This grants her the constant benefits of all her feats that grant her a bonus based on the surrounding temperature and has already been incorporated into the above statistics. Once every 2d4 rounds, Auril or any of her manifestations can exhale a cone of frost up to 40 feet in length. When she desires, her breath can bestow beneficial effects; she can channel any cure or heal spell, grant a +4 profane bonus to ability scores, armor class or saving throws, or bestow the effect of the haste spell to any number of creatures within her breath. Auril can also choose to inflict damage with her breath and deal 27d10 points of damage to any number of creatures within range, half of which is piercing cold damage and half of which is either piercing, slashing or bludgeoning damage resulting from the icicles, hailstones and ice shards in the cone. A Reflex save (DC 64) halves the damage and any creature that fails its save is also partially encased in ice, reducing its speed by half. The reduced movement lasts until the ice is destroyed. Destroying the ice requires a successful Strength or dispel check against the effect’s DC or dealing 55 bludgeoning or fire damage to the creature. Creatures with the cold or incorporeal subtype or immunity to being grappled are immune to this effect. Finally, Auril can slay with her kiss. If the target is not willing to be kissed, Lady Frostkiss must start a grapple, which provokes an attack of opportunity. Any living creature kissed by Auril must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 64) or die and be consumed by frost from the inside-out. A successful saving throw still deals 8d8 points of coldfire damage. [b]Swift Abjuration (Su)[/b] Auril can cast abjuration spells of up to 3rd level as a swift action, as if she had applied the Quicken Spell feat to them (but without any change in level). [b]Possessions[/b] Auril carries [i]icemaiden’s caress,[/i] a [i]+8 speed wounding battleaxe of icy blast[/i] with the powers of a [i]major iceheart[/i] and an [i]icicle rod[/i] whose icicle ability deals Auril’s weapon damage. The axe gains the [i]dread[/i] property against creatures with the fire subtype; the Fortitude save DC to resist death on a critical hit is 65. Icemaiden’s caress extinguishes all nonmagical fires it touches. [i]Icemaiden’s caress[/i] additionally functions as snow for the purposes of Auril’s Snowcasting feat. As a standard action, [i]icemaiden’s caress[/i] can also dispel lasting fire spells though Auril must succeed on a dispel check (+55) against each spell to dispel it. The DC to dispel such spells is 11 + the caster level of the fire spell. Auril can reflect instantaneous fire spell effects by making a successful attack roll against the caster level of the fire effect; a successful roll indicates that the spell has been turned towards its point of origin and resolves normally at that point. The Frostmaiden also wears [i]+8 icemail of greater fire resistance.[/i] Auril’s armor resonates with defensive magic, any abjuration spell she casts that grants her an armor bonus instead stacks with the bonus granted by her armor. [b]Other Divine Powers[/b] As a lesser power, Auril may take 10 on any check. Auril treats a 1 on an attack roll or saving throw normally and not as an automatic failure. She is immortal. [b]Senses[/b] Auril can see (using normal vision or darkvision), hear, touch, and smell at a distance of nine miles. As a standard action, she can perceive anything within nine miles of her worshippers, holy sites, objects, or any location where one of her titles or name was spoken in the last hour.
