Because of the deadly talent of these creatures, native tribes are
greatly fearful of them and call them 'ice demons', though frost men
are in most respects very like normal humans and can have the
abilities of fighters, clerics, thieves or even magic-users. They will
carry weapons appropriate to their class.

Frost men also have the power, three times per day, of radiating a
freezing cone of ice mist, 35' long and with 10' base diameter, from
one eye (when not in use that eye is usually covered by a patch).The
other eye is focusing so there is no reduction in hit probability due
to monocular vision.

Any creature caught in the mistcone takes 3-18 hit points of damage
(halved if a saving throw versus dragon breath is made).

To date, these creatures have only been encountered singly and the
location of their lair, its type and their pattern of living are unknown.
It is thought that there are villages of frost men, with females and
children, buried in deep caves in mountains, mainly in cold regions.
None have yet ventured to establish the veracity of these rumours.

Frost men appear like normal human males. However they radiate
cold - readily discernable from as far away as 30' though not of
sufficient power to inflict damage. They dress in loose animal skins
and carry their personal treasure in leather sacks.

Based on the limited evidence available, the majority (75%) of frost
men are of the fighter class. 15% are thieves, about 8% clerics and
only 2% magic-users. Clerics and magic-users appear only to have
developed spell-use to the second experience level in comparison with
humans.
