Introduction
Permafrost is a world covered in ice and snow, a world of

for survival, and of the people fighting to rescue it.

Setting and Backstory
Twenty years ago there was a major planar accident, an epic-
level screwup of such magnitude that it pushed the prime material
plane out of its place in the cosmos. Ever since then the world has
been getting colder and colder. After two solid years of winter, the
people in the north started moving south. They went a little farther
each time, hoping it would all just stop so they could live their lives.
Five years ago the northerners finally traveled so far south that
they ran into the people who had been moving north. The whole
world is in the worst ice age you can imagine the equators
frozen and the poles are wide-open portals to the paraelemental
plane of Ice. If not for magic, everyone would be dead. There are
only a quarter million people left alive.
There are three major outposts in this world still capable of
supporting life. First is the Steaming Mountain, where the Magma
Mages live. This active volcano is one of the few places thats still
warm enough to grow crops on a regular basis, as the ground itself
produces enough heat. The mages and their protectors, the Core
Seekers, are looking for a way to tap into the warmth left in the
Page 1
worlds core and heat everything back up. About 80,000 people
live on the slopes and foothills of the Steaming Mountain.
Next is Crystalhome, a vast domed city made of magical crys-
tal. The wizard Laccia created this whole place on her own before
traveling to the outer planes to look for help. That was six years
ago. Crystalhome is run by the Adepts, a band of monks whove
had to put their training on hold to deal with this town showing
up on their doorstep. Crystalhome is about thirty miles away from
the Steaming Mountain. The Planar Initiates, disciples of Laccia,
make their home here as well, using the crystal to peer into the
multiverse, seeking an answer. Crystalhome has about 150,000
inhabitants.
Last is the Great Dark, the vast system of catacombs beneath
the world where the cold has not yet penetrated. The core seekers
delve into these underground vaults and tombs, but they do not
make it their home. That right belongs to the Naga Cultists, who
draw their power from allegiance to the great snake-people, and
to the Servants of Death, who solemnly watch over those buried
here. Both of these groups have been seen above-ground in recent
years, and their influence is growing as the Great Darks population
increases. There are only 20,000 humans and demihumans there,
but the population of monstrous humanoids is much larger.
In the snowy wilderness, one can find few survivors. Those
who refuse to move to the Mountain, Crystalhome, or the Dark
eventually succumb to the blistering cold. Only three kinds of
people can be found here: the Knights of the Snows, whose fey
goddess protects them from the cold; the Iceborn Raiders, who
steal from others to survive; and the Mad Hermits who survived
when others perished, and have paid the price in their sanity.

There is one thin ray of hope. Last year some people seemed to
fall deathly ill, eventually entering glowing cocoons and emerging
hale and healthy, with unexpected powers and different personali-
ties. Most of them were young, none more than twenty years old.
Each had a message: they were archons, sent by the gods of the
Upper Planes to be reborn in living flesh, to help the people of this
world. Some take this as an indication that Laccia succeeded in
her quest, but others point out that the cold is still growing.
Character Creation
For the most part, you can follow the normal procedures for
character creation as described in the core rules. Generate stats,
pick a race and class, pick skills and feats and so forth.
Most humanoid races in this world are the result of magi-
cal experimentation with humans. Elves come from fey blood,
orcs were the result of an epic curse against an entire kingdom,
dwarves came from people who wanted to be stronger and did
something about it, and halflings were the result of a seriously
disturbed wizards perverted desire for children who never grew
up. Gnomes are the exception; theyre actually a different species
entirely. Most people dont know this, though its recorded (often in
allegorical form) in the various races religious texts.
None of the usual core classes are used in Permafrost. The
ten classes mentioned above are all there is (though the old NPC
classes are available as well if youre a masochist). To help those
who are more used to the traditional classes, heres a quick version
of each one:
Page 2
* Core Seeker (CSe): A ranger-like class familiar with the under-
ground. Has trapfinding.
* Crystalhome Adept (CAd): Take a monk, strip out some com-
bat abilities, and add a few crystal-themed powers. This is a
socially-oriented class.
* Iceborn Raider (IbR): A rogue-like class with powers related to
invisibility. Has sneak attack, but not trapfinding.
* Knight of the Snows (KoS): The closest thing the setting has to
a paladin, with the ability to create cold-oriented weapons and
armor out of snow.
* Mad Hermit (MdH): Front-line warriors with the rage ability,
and minor perks from their insanity. Essentially replaces the
barbarian class.
* Magma Mage (MaM): Blow. Things. Up. If you want to play
artillery, this is where its at. Replaces the sorcerer.
* Naga Cultist (NaC): A social class. Where rogues got sneak
attack, these guys get poison and an entrancing gaze. If you
want to play an assassin-type, this is for you.
* Planar Initiate (PlI): A psion-derived class that really screws
with outsiders. Good choice for the know-it-alls, as they get an
ability similar to bardic knowledge. Not much in the damage
department.
* Reborn Archon (RbA): The only people with serious healing
powers, with a few archon-like abilities. Not particularly com-
bat-oriented, and does not turn undead.
* Servant of death (SoD): Necromancers who can turn into
the undead and have a powerful unliving ally; actually a very
druid-like class.
 If you want a front-liner, play a core seeker, knight of snows,
or mad hermit. Social and sneaky characters include crystalhome
adepts, iceborn raiders, and naga cultists. Artillery and support
comes from the magma mages, planar initiates, reborn archons,
and servants of death, though the servants can occasionally hold
their own in combat.
Certain prestige classes will be forever unavailable in this
setting unless you intend to do some major conversion. However,
most of the core prestige classes fit without any alteration.
Questions and Answers
Q: Will you be writing any more in this setting?
A: Almost certainly not. You are welcome to do so yourself;
note that the entire text of this book is Open Gaming Content,
and you can do whatever you like with it, including writing expan-
sions and making money off them. In fact, you could include this
entire document in something you make under the OGL.
Q: What can I do in Permafrost besides save the world?
A: See page 41 for forty different plot ideas.
Q: Why all the new core classes?
A: I didnt feel like having them as prestige classes. This way I
could include more of the nifty abilities I thought up. Plus I think it
really hammers home the feel of the world: people work together
to survive, and will train almost anyone who comes to them be-
cause its just that important. On other worlds these organizations
might be considered prestigious groups, but here they give you the
basic training you need to deal with the cold. They cant afford to
be picky.
Page 3
Q: Its only been 20 years; cant I play some old guy (or young
elf) with old class levels?
A: Short version: ask your GM. Long version: due to the pla-
nar disjunction clerics and druids will not be receiving any divine
power (spells and turning), and theres no one left to train most of
the other classes, but its not inconceivable that a few other folks
might be left.
Q: How do people outside the cities survive?
A: Poorly, and by the skin of their teeth. There is a 0th-level
spell on the adept (NPC class) spell list that protects a single plant
from the effects of ice and snow for a year, and this helps greatly.
Many experienced commoners in this world multiclass into adept
for this exact reason. And no, Im not going to bother statting up a
spell thats nothing more than a plot device.
Q: Who has Turn Undead?
A: None of the basic classes in this setting have the Turn
Undead class ability. This was intentional. Undead become more
dangerous in this setting; outsiders become less so (thanks to the
Planar Initiates banishment ability).
Q: I hate psionics!
A: Thats not a question. I, personally, love psionics, and I
think theyre a good fit for the planar initiate. If you dont have the
rules for psionics, I highly recommend http://d20srd.org
 Core Seeker
Headquartered with the magma mages at the Steaming
Mountain, core seekers are an order of well-trained subterranean
trackers and explorers.
Alignment: Any.
Hit Dice: d8
Skills
The core seekers class skills are: Balance, Climb, Craft, De-
cipher Script, Disable Device, Escape Artist, Heal, Hide, Jump,
Knowledge (dungeoneering), Listen, Open Lock, Search, Spot,
Survival, Swim, Tumble, and Use Rope.
Skill points at 1st Level: (4 + Int modifier) x4
Skill points at additional levels: 4 + Int modifier
Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Core seekers are proficient
with all simple and martial weapons, all armor, and all shields.
Allegiance to the Depths: At 1st level a core seeker gains +2
to Charisma and Charisma-related skill checks when dealing with
creatures who live underground. He also receives a +2 bonus on
Survival checks made underground.
Trapfinding: As the 1st level rogue ability of the same name.
Page 4
Terrain Mastery: At 2nd level the core seeker gains a +1
insight bonus on attack and damage rolls against subterranean
creatures not creatures who simply happen to be underground,
but those who live there habitually. This applies whether the core
seeker is underground or not. Unlike the Horizon Walker ability
of the same name, core seekers do not (yet) gain the Darkvision
ability that normally comes with underground terrain mastery.
Ore Hunter: Core seekers of 4th level or higher can name a
particular mineral, precious metal, gemstone, or the like, and seek
it out as if using the Locate Object spell. Unlike that spell, this
ability is not blocked by lead.
Darkvision: At 5th level and higher, a core seeker gains dark-
vision 30. If they already have darkvision, or gain it temporarily
through a spell or other effect, its range is doubled.
Trap Sense: As the 3rd level rogue ability of the same name.
This bonus starts at +1 at 6th level, and increases by an additional
point every four levels thereafter.
Stonefriend: Starting at 7th level a core seeker receives a +4
bonus on all saving throws against spells, spell-like effects, and
supernatural abilities involving stone, earth, or rock. Examples
include petrification, the Earthquake spell, or an Earth Mephits
breath weapon. They also receive DR 3/- against stone weapons
and any creature made of earth or stone (stone or clay golems,
xorn, earth elementals, gargoyles, etc.). None of these abilities
apply against metal.
Swift Tracker: As the 8th level ranger ability of the same
name.

Burrow: Starting at 11th level core seekers gain the ability
to magically tunnel through solid stone, leaving a tunnel or not
as they see fit. Every fifteen minutes of burrowing (or portion
thereof) fatigues the core seeker, with fatigue becoming exhaustion
and then unconsciousness as usual. At this speed, a core seeker can
burrow 750 feet before becoming fatigued.
Find the Path: As the 6th level Cleric spell of the same
name.
Stonewalking: A core seeker of at least 17th level can step
into a piece of stone at least as big as he is, stepping out of another
up to a mile away. Each transport is a standard action. You must
designate a distance and direction; you come out at the closest
piece of stone to this location that does not put you in significant
danger. This ability can be used up to three times per day.

Freedom: As the 9th level Wizard spell of the same name.
Spells
Beginning at 4th level, a core seeker gains the ability to cast a
small number of arcane spells, which are drawn from the spell list
below. A core seeker must choose and prepare his spells in advance.
To prepare or cast a spell, a ranger must have an Intelligence score
equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a sav-
ing throw against a core seekers spell is 10 + the spell level + the
core seekers Intelligence modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a core seeker can cast only a certain
number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell al-
lotment is given on Table: The core seeker. In addition, he receives
bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score. When the
table indicates that the core seeker gets 0 spells per day of a given
spell level, he gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to
based on his Intelligence score for that spell level. The core seeker
does not have access to any domain spells or granted powers, as a
cleric does.
A core seeker prepares and casts spells the way a wizard does.
A core seeker may prepare and cast any spell on the core seeker
spell list, provided that he can cast spells of that level, but he must
choose which spells to prepare during his daily studies.
Through 3rd level, a core seeker has no caster level. At 4th
level and higher, his caster level is one-half his ranger level.
Page 6
Core seekers learn to cast a specialized set of spells, a bag of
tricks intended to help them survive the depths more effectively.
Some of them have use in combat, while others are intended for
stealth missions, deterring pursuit, or plain survival. Because the
survival of the core seekers is considered essential to the magma
magi, core seeker spellbooks come preloaded with every one of
these spells.
1st: Alarm, Detect Animals or Plants, Detect Secret Doors,
Detect Snares and Pits, Endure Elements, Feather Fall, Grease,
Hold Portal, Light, Magic Mouth, Pass without Trace, Spider
Climb
2nd: Arcane Lock, Invisibility, Locate Object, Misdirection,
Obscure Object, Phantom Trap, Rope Trick, Shatter, Snare, Wind

 Crystalhome Authority: Crystalhome adepts gain +2 to
Charisma and Charisma-based skill checks when in the city of
Crystalhome and acting in an official capacity. They also receive
this bonus when dealing with officials from other major settle-
ments.
Stone Hands Style: Crystalhome adepts are always treated
as if they were armed. They may attack with their hands and
feet, dealing 1d6 nonlethal damage (1d4 for Small creatures). In
addition, they do not trigger an attack of opportunity when trip-
ping, sundering, grappling, bull rushing, or taking other similar
maneuvers barehanded.
Defensive Awareness: Crystalhome adepts of 2nd level or
higher are trained to be especially aware of their surroundings
during a fight. They gain their Wisdom modifier as a dodge bonus
to AC, and on any Spot and Listen checks made during combat.
Crystal Repair: Crystalhome adepts of 3rd level or higher
can use the Make Whole spell on any crystalline object small
enough to fit in its area of effect. They can also restore five hit
points per round of contact to any larger crystalline object as a
move action, as long as the object is not totally destroyed. There is
no limit to the number of times per day this ability can be used.
Mediation Training: Starting at 5th level crystalhome adepts
are specially trained to remain calm at all times, showing emotions
they want to portray rather than their true reactions and carefully
probing the emotions of others. They can apply their Wisdom
bonus as a competence bonus on any Charisma check or Cha-
risma-based skill check.
Page 8
Crystal Sheath: At 7th level and above, crystalhome adepts
can coat themselves in crystal once per day, for one round per
level. They must be holding or touching a nonmagical crystal
object at the time. The buildings or walls of Crystalhome are
the usual target, but the crystal can be as small as a thumb-sized
piece of amethyst. While this ability lasts, the crystalhome adepts
receives a +4 natural armor bonus to AC, as well as a +4 enhance-
ment bonus to unarmed damage and a +2 bonus on Reflex and
Fortitude saving throws as the crystal refracts magical energy away
from the Adept. Their unarmed attacks are considered magical
adamantine for the purposes of damage reduction.
Crystalline Wall: Crystalhome adepts of 8th level or higher
can create a wall of warm crystal three times per day, identical in
effect to the Wall of Ice spell.
Evasion: As the 2nd level monk ability of the same name.

of pure amethyst crystal, especially attuned to serve and protect
him. The amulet normally used to control Shield Guardians is
unnecessary.

 Icewalker: At 4th level a knight of the snows need not make
Balance checks to walk or run normally on ice and snow. Snowy
areas up to hip-deep are considered normal terrain, and the knight
of the snows is untrackable on snow or ice.
Frozen Armor: At 5th level a knight of the snows can sculpt
snow or ice into any light or medium armor, taking one minute,
once per day. The armor lasts until the knight of the snows fails a
saving throw against any fire- or heat-oriented spell. If the knight
of the snows already has a magical suit of armor, this ability
instead coats that armor with ice, giving it Cold Resistance. This
improvement likewise fails in the face of fire.
Improved Girding: At 7th level the knight of the snows may
use the Iceblade and Frozen Armor abilities one more per day.
In addition, Iceblade now creates +1 Frost weapons, or upgrades
existing magical weapons to Freezing Burst. Frozen Armor now
creates +1 Cold Resistance armor, or upgrades existing magical
armor to Greater Cold Resistance.
Polar Shelter: At 8th level the knight of the snows may call
a structure forth from ice and snow. Resembling a house made of
blocks of ice, this building has all the qualities of one created with
the Secure Shelter, with the exception that it is insulated against
nonmagical cold weather and provides Cold Resistance 5 to those
within. This ability takes ten minutes to use, and houses one per-
son per class level. The polar shelter spontaneously melts one hour
after sunrise.
Quenching Blow: At 10th level a knight of the snows with
an iceblade drawn may cast Quench as a standard action, once
per round. He must touch the edge of the fire, and make a caster
Page 13
level check as normal for any magical fires (remember that his
caster level is half his character level). He can also use this ability
with a readied action to counter a fire-based spell, or with a touch
attack to damage an elemental (fire) creature. These uses destroy
the power of the iceblade, returning it to its natural state (plain old
snow, or an enchanted weapon, depending on the particular use
of the ability).
Diamond Girding: At 11th level the knight of the snows may
use the Iceblade and Frozen Armor abilities once more per day.
In addition, the enhancement bonus of items created with these
abilities increases to +3, and magical objects improved by these
abilities improve their existing enhancement bonus by +1.
Frozen Palace: At 13th level the knight of the snows improves
on his polar shelter. The structure is immense, up to three ten-foot
cubes per class level, and is capable of housing three times as many
people. Its walls are as strong as a foot of hewn masonry (hardness
8, 90 HP, break DC 35), making it almost impervious to assault. It
is otherwise identical to the polar shelter.
Snow Devils: At 15th level a knight of the snows wearing
frozen armor can split pieces of it from him, forming them into
deadly servants. For each point he sacrifices from his armor bonus
to AC (not the enhancement bonus), he is served by one greater
Cold Elemental. Use the statistics for a greater Air Elemental, with
the Air subtype altered to Cold and all other abilities intact. The
elementals follow his commands to the best of their ability. The
elementals disappear after 10 minutes per character level, but the
armor remains damaged until it is recreated.
 Eternal Snow: At 17th level the Iceblade and Frozen Armor
abilities of the knight of the snows are no longer subject to de-
struction by fire, magical or otherwise.
Sheath of Everlasting Ice: At 20th level, the knight of the
snows can imprison an enemy forever in ice, once per month. This
ability functions as the 9th level Sorcerer spell Imprisonment, with
the exception that the target is encased in an opaque block of ice
rather than imprisoned beneath the earth. No natural or non-epic
magical fire can melt this ice.
Spells
Beginning at 4th level, a knight of the snows gains the ability
to cast a small number of divine spells, which are drawn from the
spell list below. A knight of the snows must choose and prepare her
spells in advance.
To prepare or cast a spell, a knight of the snows must have a
Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty
Class for a saving throw against a knight of the snowss spell is 10
+ the spell level + the knight of the snowss Charisma modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a knight of the snows can cast only
a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base
daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Knight of the Snows.
In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high
Wisdom score. When Table: The knight of the snows indicates
that the knight of the snows gets 0 spells per day of a given spell
level, she gains only the bonus spells she would be entitled to based
on her Wisdom score for that spell level The knight of the snows
Page 14
does not have access to any domain spells or granted powers, as a
cleric does.
A knight of the snows prepares and casts spells the way a pala-
din does. A knight of the snows may prepare and cast any spell on
the knight of the snows spell list, provided that she can cast spells
of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during
her daily meditation.
Through 3rd level, a knight of the snows has no caster level.
At 4th level and higher, her caster level is one-half her knight of
the snows level.
Knights of the snows obtain their spells by worshipping the
Snowflake Queen, a benevolent faerie goddess whose domain
has expanded from the uttermost north to cover almost the entire
northern hemisphere. While she is not very powerful as goddesses
go, she is still capable of giving some aid to those who are faithful
to her. Those who are unfaithful will find her aid withdrawn, along
with their spells and other class features.

 Magma Mage
Magma mages are individuals whose minds are attuned to the
depths of the planet, to the warmth pushed away by the worlds
unending conjunction with Ice. From their home on the Steaming
Mountain they seek to call the paraplane of Magma closer to the
prime material, to end the conjunction.
Magma mages are often found delving into the Great Dark,
and have a skill or two to help them out in these situations. Their
protectors, the Core Seekers, make sure that the mages keep them-
selves fit and ready.
Alignment: any Chaotic. The endless flows of the Core are
not for the faint of heart or those with unbending minds.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency:
Magma mages are proficient with simple weapons and light
armor, but not shields. They still suffer the standard arcane spell
failure chances.
Page 18
Allegiance to the Core: At 1st level a magma mage gains +2
to Charisma and Charisma-related skill checks when dealing with
creatures of the Fire or Earth subtypes. He gains Fire Resistance 5
and general immunity to the effects of smoke inhalation.
Summon Familiar: Magma Magi gain the assistance of a
familiar in the same way a sorcerer of the same level would. They
can choose any creature that lives underground, including bats,
rats, snakes, or toads.
Improved Familiar: At 5th level the magma mage gains the
assistance of a creature from the Core: a Magma Mephit. The
Mephits alignment matches the characters, though it may tend
more towards the chaotic. The mephits intelligence and natural
armor increase as other familiars would, and it gains special abili-
ties as normal.
Invoke Signature: See page 35.
Magma Substitution: At 9th level any fire-based spell cast
by the magma mage becomes an explosion of molten rock. Such
spells deal half their damage as fire, and the rest as ordinary
non-energy damage (the type dealt by weapons, falls, etc.). This
damage is treated as magic and adamantine for the purposes of
damage reduction. This ability cannot be turned off as it is a
permanent change to the way the magma mage uses magic.
Deep Mage: At 13th level the magma mage becomes at home
in the deep places of the world. Being closer to the core makes
his spells easier to cast and more powerful. Save DCs for his spells

such as the howling winds of Pandemonium or the flames of the
Elemental Plane of Fire.
Planar Anchor: A 13th level or higher planar initiate can use
his Banish Outsiders ability on a single creature to send it away
from the plane he is currently on. He must make a turning check
as usual. Success banishes the creature to a pocket dimension for
one minute. The dimension is vacant of all but air, but the creature
can use any of its equipment and/or abilities that do not require
planar travel. When the minute is up, the creature returns to its
previous location, or the closest available safe location (as per
Dimension Door).
Powers
Planar initiates have access to psionic powers. An initiates
ability to manifest powers is limited by the power points he has
available. His base daily allotment of power points is given on
Table: The Planar Initiate. In addition, he receives bonus power
points per day if he has a high Intelligence score.
An initiate begins play knowing three 1st level powers of
your choice. Each time he achieves a new level, he unlocks the
knowledge of new powers. Choose the powers known from the list
below. A planar initiate can manifest any power that has a power
point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level. To learn or
manifest a power, a psion must have an Intelligence score of at
least 10 + the powers level.
The number of times an initiate can manifest powers in a day
is limited only by his daily power points.
Page 25
An initiate simply knows his powers; they are ingrained in his
mind. He does not need to prepare them (in the way that some
spellcasters prepare their spells), though he must get a good nights
sleep each day to regain all his spent power points.
The Difficulty Class for saving throws against planar initiate
powers is 10 + the powers level + the initiates Intelligence modi-
fier.
Planar Initiates learn primarily those powers dealing with
travel to other planes, and those that call forces from beyond.
They also learn powers that involve divination, mental offense and
defense, and some utility spells to assist or protect them in their
travels. Most of their offensive powers are mental in nature.
Magic and psionics in this setting are considered two aspects
of the same force. Any ability that affects magic will affect psionics,
and vice versa.

 Aura of Menace: While the Reborn Archon is a beacon of
hope, archons themselves are fearsome warriors, and this becomes
plain to those who anger them. Any hostile creature within 10 feet
of an angry reborn archon of 7th level or higher must make a Will
save, DC 10 + 1/2 level + Cha, or suffer a 2 penalty on attacks,
saves, and armor class for 24 hours, or until they strike the reborn
archon.
Invoke Signature: See page 35.
Archon Immunities: At 11th level and above, reborn archon
are immune to electricity and petrification, and receive a +4 bonus
on saves against poison.
Conduit to Beyond: reborn archon of 14th level and higher
can speak with the souls of those who passed on to the upper planes.
This can function either as the Commune spell, or as the Speak
with Dead spell. There is no cost for using this ability. The reborn
archon may use the Speak with Dead ability no more than three
times per day, with the usual limit of not contacting a particular
person more than once per week. Use of the Commune prevents
further use of this ability (either version) for one full week.
Close to the Surface: It is obvious to all onlookers that the
reborn archons body is merely a conduit for much greater celestial
power. A 17th level reborn archon gains the Leadership feat, or if
he already has it, gains a +4 bonus to his leadership score. He may
gain celestials as followers, treating their level as their CR+1.
Ascension: The reborn archon sheds his mortal form like
a butterfly hatching from a chrysalis. His creature type becomes
outsider. He receives DR 10/evil, fire and cold resistance 20, and
Page 28
SR 5 + class level. Finally, his hit dice change to d8 from now on,
and receives a bonus of +20 to his current hit point total.
Spells
A reborn archon casts divine spells, which are drawn from
the spell list below. A reborn archon must choose and prepare his
spells in advance (see below).
To prepare or cast a spell, a reborn archon must have a Wis-
dom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class
for a saving throw against a reborn archons spell is 10 + the spell
level + the reborn archons Wisdom modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a reborn archon can cast only a certain
number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell
allotment is given on Table: The Reborn Archon. In addition, he
receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Wisdom score.
Reborn Archons pray for their spells at dawn each day, at
which time he must spend 1 hour each day in quiet contemplation
or supplication to regain his daily allotment of spells. Time spent
resting has no effect on whether a reborn archon can prepare
spells. A reborn archon may prepare and cast any spell on the
reborn archon spell list, provided that he can cast spells of that
level, but he must choose which spells to prepare during his daily
meditation.
A reborn archon can channel stored spell energy into healing
spells that the cleric did not prepare ahead of time. The cleric can
lose any prepared spell that is not a domain spell in order to cast

 Aspect of Death: This complex and expanded ability is de-
scribed below.
Invoke Signature: See page 35.
Horde of the Undead: At 9th level and higher a servant of
death may have up to twice the normal amount of undead min-
ions gained through Animate Dead and similar spells.
Stolen Face: At 13th level a servant of death can choose to
look like any particular dead humanoid, if given the chance to
examine its corpse. Lasts until canceled; must reexamine corpse to
reactivate. +20 to Disguise checks.
Eternal Life: Starting at 15th level a servant of death contin-
ues to age normally, but does not die due to old age. She receives
+1 to her Intelligence and Wisdom, but suffers -1 to her Constitu-
tion, Strength, and Dexterity (to a minimum of 3 in each) for every
20 years that pass.
Aspect of Death
For one hour per day the servant of death can take on an un-
healthy pallor, appearing more like one of the undead. He receives
Darkvision 60, +2 temporary hit points per level, and immunity
to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, and death effects.
His Constitution score disappears (it is not zero; it simply does
not exist), and his Charisma score is reduced by four points. He
applies his Charisma modifier to Constitution checks, and has no
attribute that modifies fortitude saves. He is treated as undead for
the purpose of healing spells and most positive-energy effects. If
successfully turned or rebuked, he becomes shaken for 1d4 rounds,
Page 32
but suffers no other effect. He may activate this ability once per
day, starting at 5th level, canceling it at will.
At 6th, 7th, 10th, 14th, and 18th levels, and every four levels
thereafter, the servant of death can use this ability one more time
per day. He need not cancel the ability before reactivating it.
At 8th level the servant of death becomes incorporeal when he
uses his Aspect of Death ability.
At 11th level the servant of death is recognized as an ally by
other undead when using Aspect of Death. They treat him as one
of their own kind, believing him to belong in their company. Intel-
ligent undead may make a Will save (DC 12 + half his class level +
his Charisma modifier) to shake free of this compulsion.
At 12th level the servant of death becomes immune to critical
hits, nonlethal damage, ability drain, energy drain, ability score
damage, fatigue, and exhaustion while using Aspect of Death.
At 16th level, the mere sight of a servant of death using this
ability paralyzes his foes with fear. The viewer must succeed on a
Will save, DC 10 + half level + Cha modifier, or be paralyzed with
fear for 1d4 rounds. Whether or not the save is successful, that
creature cannot be affected again by the same Servant of death
despair ability for 24 hours.
At 18th level the servant of death drains energy from those
he touches while using the Aspect of Death ability. He inflicts one
negative level per touch, up to a max of half his level. A successful
Fortitude save, DC 10 + half level + Cha modifier, negates this.
Each level so drained gives the servant 8 temporary hit points,
which last for an hour.
At 20th level, while using Aspect of Death, the servant of
death becomes immune to all mind-affecting effects, and any effect
that requires a Fortitude save, unless it also works on (incorporeal)
objects or is harmless. In addition, at all times, a 20th level or
higher SoDs type becomes undead.
Spells
A servant of death casts arcane spells which are drawn from
the spell list below. She must choose and prepare her spells ahead
of time (see below).
To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the servant must have an In-
telligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty
Class for a saving throw against a wizards spell is 10 + the spell
level + the servants Intelligence modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a servant of death can cast only a
certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily
spell allotment is given on Table: The Servant of Death. In addi-
tion, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Intelligence
score.
Unlike a bard or sorcerer, a servant of death may know any
number of spells. She must choose and prepare her spells ahead of
time by getting a good nights sleep and spending 1 hour studying
her spellbook. While studying, the servant of death decides which
spells to prepare.
Page 33
Servants of Death cast primarily those spells that deal with
necromancy and the undead: creating them, healing them, re-
moving the effects they have on others. However, it comes as a
surprise to many that Servants of Death are capable of inspiring
and protecting the living as well as the dead. They also have some
familiarity with pure magic.

to the para-elemental plane of Cold as a move action, dealing one
point of damage for each hit die it has to all creatures within a
range of ten feet per hit die. It can only use this ability once per
minute (10 rounds). A Fortitude save (DC = 10 + 1/2 hit dice +
Constitution modifier) cuts the damage in half. Those who fail
their save also suffer two points of Dexterity damage. This ability
also freezes water and other liquids.
Environment: Any arctic, with aquatic possible if the mon-
ster was previously aquatic.
Challenge Rating: Add +1 to the creatures normal CR.

Weather Problems
In Permafrost the environment can be just as dangerous as
any monster. Some worlds have magically-induced weather, but a
hurricane during a conjunction with the elemental plane of cold is
worse than anything most prime planes ever see.
This section is primarily a repeat of information already avail-
able in the core rules, to keep you from having to flip back and
forth on a regular basis. One piece of new content, on areas of
conjunction with the paraplane of ice, can be found under Cold
Dangers.
Cold Dangers
Cold and exposure deal nonlethal damage to the victim. This
nonlethal damage cannot be recovered until the character gets out
of the cold and warms up again. Once a character is rendered
unconscious through the accumulation of nonlethal damage, the
cold and exposure begins to deal lethal damage at the same rate.
An unprotected character in cold weather (below 40 F) must
make a Fortitude save each hour (DC 15, + 1 per previous check)
or take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. A character who has the
Survival skill may receive a bonus on this saving throw and may be
able to apply this bonus to other characters as well.
In conditions of severe cold or exposure (below 0 F), an
unprotected character must make a Fortitude save once every
10 minutes (DC 15, +1 per previous check), taking 1d6 points of
nonlethal damage on each failed save. A character who has the
Survival skill at 5 ranks or higher receive a +2 bonus on this saving
throw, and can apply this bonus to other characters as well with a
DC 15 skill check. Characters wearing winter clothing only need
check once per hour for cold and exposure damage.
A character who takes any nonlethal damage from cold or ex-
posure is beset by frostbite or hypothermia (treat her as fatigued).
These penalties end when the character recovers the nonlethal
damage she took from the cold and exposure.
Extreme cold (below -20 F) deals 1d6 points of lethal dam-
age per minute (no save). In addition, a character must make a
Fortitude save (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or take 1d4 points
of nonlethal damage. Those wearing metal armor or coming into
contact with very cold metal are affected as if by a Chill Metal
spell. Those wearing winter clothing need only check once every
ten minutes. They also must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or take
one point of Dexterity, Wisdom, and Constitution damage each
night that they remain outside.
Areas of conjunction with the Paraelemental Plane of Ice
cause even greater problems, dealing 1d6 points of lethal cold
damage per round of exposure (no save). Those wearing or in
contact with metal are affected as by the Chill Metal spell. Those
wearing winter clothing take damage only once every minute.
They also must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or take one point of
Dexterity, Wisdom, and Constitution damage each hour.
Ice Effects
Characters walking on ice must spend 2 squares of movement
to enter a square covered by ice, and the DC for Balance and
Tumble checks increases by +5. Characters in prolonged contact
Page 37
with ice may run the risk of taking damage from severe cold (see
above).
Rain, Snow, Sleet, and Hail
Bad weather frequently slows or halts travel and makes it virtu-
ally impossible to navigate from one spot to another. Torrential
downpours and blizzards obscure vision as effectively as a dense
fog.
Most precipitation is rain, but in cold conditions it can mani-
fest as snow, sleet, or hail. Precipitation of any kind followed by a
cold snap in which the temperature dips from above freezing to
30 F or below may produce ice.
Rain
Rain reduces visibility ranges by half, resulting in a -4 pen-
alty on Spot and Search checks. It has the same effect on flames,
ranged weapon attacks, and Listen checks as severe wind.
Snow
Falling snow has the same effects on visibility, ranged weapon
attacks, and skill checks as rain, and it costs 2 squares of move-
ment to enter a snow-covered square. A day of snowfall leaves 1d6
inches of snow on the ground.
Heavy Snow
Heavy snow has the same effects as normal snowfall, but also
restricts visibility as fog does (see Fog, below). A day of heavy snow
leaves 1d4 feet of snow on the ground, and it costs 4 squares of
movement to enter a square covered with heavy snow. Heavy snow
accompanied by strong or severe winds may result in snowdrifts
1d4x5 feet deep, especially in and around objects big enough to
deflect the wind - a cabin or a large tent, for instance. There is a
10% chance that a heavy snowfall is accompanied by lightning
(see Thunderstorm, below). Snow has the same effect on flames as
moderate wind.
Sleet
Essentially frozen rain, sleet has the same effect as rain while
falling (except that its chance to extinguish protected flames is
75%) and the same effect as snow once on the ground.
Hail
Hail does not reduce visibility, but the sound of falling hail
makes Listen checks more difficult (-4 penalty). Sometimes (5%
chance) hail can become large enough to deal 1 point of lethal
damage (per storm) to anything in the open. Once on the ground,
hail has the same effect on movement as snow.
Winds
The wind can create a stinging spray of sand or dust, fan a
large fire, heel over a small boat, and blow gases or vapors away.
If powerful enough, it can even knock characters down (see Table:
Wind Effects), interfere with ranged attacks, or impose penalties
on some skill checks.
Light Wind
A gentle breeze, having little or no game effect.
Moderate Wind
A steady wind with a 50% chance of extinguishing small,
unprotected flames, such as candles.
Page 38
Strong Wind
Gusts that automatically extinguish unprotected flames
(candles, torches, and the like). Such gusts impose a -2 penalty on
ranged attack rolls and on Listen checks.
Severe Wind
In addition to automatically extinguishing any unprotected
flames, winds of this magnitude cause protected flames (such as
those of lanterns) to dance wildly and have a 50% chance of ex-
tinguishing these lights. Ranged weapon attacks and Listen checks
are at a -4 penalty. This is the velocity of wind produced by a gust
of wind spell.
Windstorm
Powerful enough to bring down branches if not whole trees,
windstorms automatically extinguish unprotected flames and have
a 75% chance of blowing out protected flames, such as those of
lanterns. Ranged weapon attacks are impossible, and even siege
weapons have a -4 penalty on attack rolls. Listen checks are at a -8
penalty due to the howling of the wind.
Hurricane-Force Wind
All flames are extinguished. Ranged attacks are impossible (ex-
cept with siege weapons, which have a -8 penalty on attack rolls).
Listen checks are impossible: All characters can hear is the roaring
of the wind. Hurricane-force winds often fell trees.
Tornado (CR 10)
All flames are extinguished. All ranged attacks are impossible
(even with siege weapons), as are Listen checks. Instead of being
blown away (see Table: Wind Effects), characters in close proxim-
ity to a tornado who fail their Fortitude saves are sucked Wind Effects
toward the tornado. Those who come in contact with the Wind Speed Range Size Effect DC
actual funnel cloud are picked up and whirled around for
Light 0-10 mph / Any None
1d10 rounds, taking 6d6 points of damage per round,
Moderate 11-20 mph / Any None
before being violently expelled (falling damage may ap-
Strong 21-30 mph -2/ Tiny or smaller Knocked down 10
ply). While a tornados rotational speed can be as great as
Small or larger None
300 mph, the funnel itself moves forward at an average of
Severe 31-50 mph -4/ Tiny Blown away 15
30 mph (roughly 250 feet per round). A tornado uproots
Small Knocked down 15
trees, destroys buildings, and causes other similar forms of
Medium Checked 15
major destruction.
Large or larger None
Windstorm 51-74 mph X/-4 Small or smaller Blown away 18

Table Notes
The Range column gives penalty to Normal / Seige weapons.
Checked: Creatures are unable to move forward against the force of the wind. Flying
creatures are blown back 1d6 x 5 feet.
Knocked Down: Creatures are knocked prone by the force of the wind. Flying creatures
are instead blown back 1d6 x 10 feet.
Blown Away: Creatures on the ground are knocked prone and rolled 1d4x10 feet, taking
1d4 points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet. Flying creatures are blown back 2d6x10 feet
and take 2d6 points of nonlethal damage due to battering and buffeting.

 Design Notes
Hi. My name is Colin, and I designed Permafrost. This is actu-
ally something Ive had in mind since I was about 14 years old,
back before 2nd Edition hit its stride. Lets just say this setting has
improved significantly since then.
The atmosphere in Permafrost is intended to be somewhat op-
pressive. Things shouldnt be so horrible that everyone has given
up hope, but they should be bad enough that people are working
very hard to improve things. This is a world of total ecological
catastrophe, and even once things get fixed (assuming they do),
there will still be a lot of work that needs to be done.
One way I would try to create this feel (and you can feel free to
use your own methods if you have a different idea) is to start the
game off with a look at everyday life. Take a few minutes to talk
about the farmers at the Steaming Mountain, and how they see the
snow falling closer each month. Talk about the people who work in
Icehome scraping the frost off the outside of the crystal dome, and
how it creeps up just a little higher each week. Talk about how all
these people look to the PCs for guidance and salvation, and how
they have the dreams and hopes of their families in their eyes, and
the PCs might understand a little better exactly whats going on.
Revisiting this every so often is important, but you dont have
to hammer it in every single session. Once people get the idea, the
occasional reminder will be all they need.
On the mechanical side of game design, Ive tried to do a few
interesting things in Permafrost. The first is to simplify casters
some, so that they dont increase in complexity much after about
7th level. Almost every d20 game ties the power level of the char-
acters to the intricacy of their stats; anything that alleviates that
complexity is a good thing in my book. Thus, casters start losing
unnecessary low-level spells and keep just a few signature
pieces.
Another mechanical trick I wanted to try was the anti-druid ser-
vant of death. As one of my friends put it, Yes! A Turn Undead
that actually makes you turn undead! Ive always wanted to have
a necromancer-type class that wasnt required to either a) be evil,
or b) suck. Eventually I decided to write one myself.
Some other things I just wanted to try out for myself. After see-
ing token use in another OGL game, I thought it might be a good
fit for the iceborn raider. Seeing classes with multiple different
tracks made me confident it would work with the mad hermit
and naga cultist. A lot of this I owe to Monte Cooks excellent
games, which have a lot of innovation crammed into them for how
close they are to the core rules.
Plot Seeds
As always, a good GM can come up with a thousand different
ways to make a campaign interesting. Here are forty suggestions
from us to spark your inspiration for various different kinds of
campaigns. Dont take any of these as canonical. Just because
something is listed here doesnt mean it has to work in your cam-
paign. Some of these could be things that other groups are doing,
which arent bad ideas but ultimately wont work. The PCs, of
course, will eventually have the right method if only they can
pull it off.

 Things that Might Save The World
1. Finding out what happened to send the world towards the
paraplane of ice in the first place, and reversing it.
2. Drawing the paraplane of magma closer.
3. Stoking up the inexhaustible heat of the Core until the ground
itself grows warm.
4. Calling on the gods for aid (either the old ones, or an entirely
new set that might care more about your world).
5. Fighting the masters of the paraplane of ice to convince them
they dont want to be near you.
6. A massive enchantment that lets everyone adapt to the cold.
7. Retreating into the Great Dark until the conjunction is over
and the world returns to balance.
8. Traveling back in time to prevent the original mishap.
9. Defeating the Snowflake Queen, who is the real mastermind
behind all of this.
10. Stealing a piece of the sun to warm the planet.
Things to Do in Social Games
1. Keep the peace in the crowded halls of Crystalhome.
2. Settle a growing dispute that could leave Crystalhome without
food and the Steaming Mountain without any tools.
3. Make peace with the denizens of the Great Dark.
4. Claim the overland world for the nagas. Alternatively, infiltrate
the naga cults to prevent them from taking over.
5. Become the leader of the iceborn raiders.
6. Use your persuasive ways to seek aid in the outer planes.
7. Become the Snowflake Queens consort.
8. Seek out and cure mad hermits.
9. Control the Crystalhome/Mountain trade route.
10. Play a band of mad hermits who want to make everyone mad.
Page 41
Other Plot Hooks and Questions
1. Perhaps victory is really impossible, and the only answer is an
exodus to a new prime material plane.
2. Travel north. Find dead bodies. Go on resurrection spree.
3. Stop a mummy lord from animating all the bodies that froze.
4. Where is Laccia and what really happened to her?
5. Is this happening to just this prime material, or all of them?
6. What are the dragons up to during all this?
7. Can you tell whos going to become a reborn archon?
8. Are the mad hermits ice spirits organized? Do they have a
plan? Are they working with/against the Snowflake Queen?
9. Is there anyone who wants this conjunction to continue?
10. Why do the nagas care so much about what we do?
And Now That Youve Won...
1. Is the world headed towards a collision with the paraplane of
magma now?
2. Are enough plants and animals left for the world to recover?
3. Is an invasion from the Great Dark imminent?
4. Whos going to run the world now?
5. What will become of the knights of the snow?
6. Will the Steaming Mountain explode from all th extra heat the
magma mages pumped into it?
7. Will the adepts go back to being just monks, or are they more
interested in the social arena now?
8. Will the magma mages be overwhelmed with madness as the
warmth makes them more powerful?
9. How can we prevent this from happening again?
10. How much does it cost to buy a tavern? Can I hire an old guy
to sit in the corner, wear a beard, and send young adventurers
on bogus quests? Man, would that be funny.
