Rime Archdragon

A rime archdragon is a glacier given will and wing — an ancient cold drake whose breath frosts the air around it and whose lair is a cathedral of black ice. The temperature plummets wherever it goes, leaving even the bravest hunters shivering and slow before the killing begins.

It has a +2 status bonus to all saves vs. primal.

Radiate Cold (aura, cold, primal) 20 feet. The adult rime dragon's presence lowers the temperature around them. A creature who enters or begins their turn in the aura must attempt a DC 37 Fortitude save.

• Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
• Success The creature begins to shiver as the biting cold affects it. It takes a –5-foot status penalty to its Speeds until the end of its next turn.
• Failure The creature's body temperature begins to drop. It takes a –10-foot status penalty to their Speeds and is enfeebled 1 until the end of its next turn.
• Critical Failure Ice begins to form on the creature.
