Hi, I'm looking to a kind of undead that would be created by clerics of the Auril the Frost Maiden.

Something like a "frosty" zombie and the like. Any idea of an existing critter or some template that would fit ?

Thanks for any help.

Entombed, Winterspawn, Icegaunts, Frostfell Ghosts, are all undead included in the Frostburn terrain book, so that might be worth your time to check out.

Well, in the Epic Player's Handbook, I believe there are Winterwights and Shadow of the Void. They are cold focus undead. But their CR ratings are 23 and 26 repectively.

Agrees, look in Frostburn. :)

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

It should not be too hard to develpe lessor versions of them.

Cut back HD, stats, abilities, etc. to have lower CR versions.

It is always a possibility to just add some "frozen" characteristics to excisting undeads...

Thanks for all ideas..
