Anatomy

Psi Core (Secret) (+2): +50% damage to the core, but only psionic attacks may target it. Shatterpoint (Secret: DC) (+0): Attacks against this have +2 to crit, and critical hits Daze (1 round). Vitals (Secret: DC) (+2): Can be grappled, damaging or grappling this Dazes (1 round or while grappled) them. Inflicts Setback (2, duration of Daze) instead if the attack already Dazes. Arms (2) (+2): Required to use items, grapple, and perform actions. Has disadvantage to grapple for 1 round if hit, or forces immediate grapple check against attack roll to maintain it if one is active. Legs (2) (+2): If an attack/ability deals any effect besides damage to at least one leg, it also inflicts Cripple (10, 1 round).

Description

Yet another returner from 2nd edition with an even heftier demotion, downgraded to a miniboss. The Frost may not be as durable as it should be, but its mastery of the frost is far more… uh you’re gonna die. Hope the developer fixes this description later.
