...Permanently. Hopefully at least 5 points worth. But even 1 or 2 could be useful. I may be playing in an upcoming arctic type campaign world. Cold resistance from races and classes are out as those have already been decided by the DM.

If you're a caster, you could become a lich and be immune to it. How feasible this is is another issue entirely though...

Planar Touchstone feat linked to the Ice Catacombs touchstone site: base ability is cold resistance 5. Assuming you can pick up 8 ranks of Knowledge (the Planes) fairly easily, this is easier to obtain than Cold Endurance + Improved Cold Endurance (two feats).

Shape Soulmeld: Frost Helm or Necrocarnum Vestments also confer cold resistance, which can be increased with essentia if you can scrape up any (there are very few builds where Human can't be easily replaced with Azurin).

Thanks, but I don't know what you just said:smallconfused: :smallbiggrin:
Could you explain what this is from and what you mean?

The character I'm planning will have knowledge planes so this sounds good.

Are you playing 4e? If you are the level 4/9/14/19/24/29 neck slot item Frostwolf Pelt will get you that. The even cheaper Armor of Resistance (2/7/12/17/22/27) gets you the same thing, but without a power to go with it.

Thought I mentioned that for some reason. this would be a pathfinder/3.5 game.

I figured it out thanks. And for reference its knowledge planes 8 ranks. From Planar Handbook.
