Arctic evolution [Major] by Iczer

'I feel overdressed for the weather'

The character enjoys a number of adaptions to freezing temperatures.

1) Resistances: Extremely resistant to cold. Feels fine up to 50 degrees below zero F. Takes half damage from cold attacks and is impervious to many of the side effects (frostbite for instance). Hardy and husky build adds 40 to the SDC and +4 to PE. Eyes are able to resist snow blindness and other bright lights. The stomach is able to consume raw meat safely.

2) Hibernation: In case the weather becomes too inclement, the character can become immune to up to negative 200 below zero by entering a hibernation trance. He can maintain this sleep like state for up to 2 months per level, but will waken when the temperature rises to safe levels.

3) Ice adaptation: The character can trudge though snow without additional fatigue, and can walk on ice less than an inch thick by spreading his weight. he can move at normal speed on ice like this. He swims with a natural skill of 78% and has a swimming speed equal to his PS (As if it were converted to Spd). He can hold his breath for up to his PE in minutes before needing a breath.

4) Camouflage: The character's hair and skin can turn white (actually the hair becomes transparent). He can also sprout 4 inch thick hair all over his body. When disguised like this, amidst snow and ice, he/she enjoys +20% to prowl.
