A Ision is a creature frozen in about a inch of ice. Under the ice an almost perfectly preseved body is visible. At the end of two extentions, most commonly arms, there is thicker less transparant ice.

Isions are creatures that died in cold, cursed lands. When they died they quickly became frozen in ice and animated by the curse. They stay on the place where they died, waiting for weakend travelers, hoping to turn them into one of them.

Combat
Isions have no strategy, and instead move to the nearest non Ision and start punshing it, untill it changes into a Ision.

Frozen Touch (ex): The frozen touch of a Ision deals 1d6 frost damage, those who are hit must make a Fortitude save with DC 10+total damage from this ability or start to freeze to dead, suffering 3d6 frost damage each turn. Those who die of this frost damage immediately turn into a Ision. The freezing can be stopped by dealing 5 points of fire damage. Any frost damage caused by this ability can be healed by either dealing fire damage to the subject, healing 2 points of damage for each point of fire damage. For any other methodes of healing to work, the subject must be in a warm environment.

Black hands, blue eyes?

(too obscure?)


Why a set 16 for Wisdom?

Probably.

I don't know why, will change it.

I'd hope not. More people need to read George R. R. Martin.

Under Frozen Touch, specify how long it is before a slain creature becomes an Ision. Is it immediate or is there time to do something for them before they rise?

Also, it could do with some proofreading. :)

And I will do that.

Just thought I might mention there is something just like this in Frostburn called an Entombed.

I thought of that, but IIRC, the Entombed are surrounded by giant chunks of ice, where these guys basically died of frostbite.

Ok, so its more closely related to Icegaunts and Winterspawn.

MitP vote: No

I mean no offense to the maker, but its basically a zombie with a cold touch attack, and there are nearly a dozen such creatures in various books. Also, it says 'resistance to cold'. I presume you mean immunity considering it has heat vulnerability.

Agreed, the typos i don't mind too much, i make plenty, but idea is a little too similar to existing undead, maybe if made them less zombie like..... or gave them some interesting origin in flavor text it'd be different, but as they are now, i'd have to vote "no"
