SPECIAL ABILITIES

Cold Flesh (Ex)

A winter witch gains endure elements as a constant, spell-like ability, but only against cold temperatures. At 4th level, she gains cold resistance 5, making her comfortable in near-freezing temperatures. This replaces the witch’s 4th-level hex.

Ice Magic

When a winter witch casts a spell with the cold descriptor, the save DC of the spell increases by 1. A baroness cannot learn or cast spells with the fire descriptor.

Treasure NPC gear (masterwork dagger, bracers of armor +1, potion of cat’s grace, potions of cure light wounds [2], potion of invisibility, wand of ray of enfeeblement [24 charges])

Winter witch baronesses are members of aristocracy who rule towns and villages throughout the nation. As a baroness (or sometimes countess depending on her rank), a winter witch reports to the ruler of her province. Some baronesses and countesses treat their subjects better than others, but across the board they are unsympathetic, short-tempered, and cruel.
