{{Template:Pattern
'Numbing Skeleton' is an inherited template that can be added to any Skeleton, hereafter referred to as the base creature.


A Numbing Skeleton uses all of the base creature's statistics and abilities except as noted below.
  <!-- GENERAL ADJUSTMENTS -->


=== CR ===
| Pattern-Name=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Pattern-Name}}}
Same as base creature +1.
| Pattern-Name| Numbing Creature
}}</onlyinclude>


=== Size and Type ===
| CR-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|CR-Adj}}}
The creature's Size and Type do not change.
| CR-Adj| 1
}}</onlyinclude>


=== Senses ===
| Picture =  
No changes.
| Picture-Text =  


=== Armor Class ===
| Description=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Description}}}
Numbing Skeletons gain +2 AC.  This is granted by adding to the base creature's natural armor bonus.
| Description| '''''Numbing Creature''''' is a pattern that adds a freezing aura to a creature. Whether they are made of snow, or have their hearts replaced with chunks of alchemical ice, exhale bitter frost, or sweat out freezing caloric rather than sweat, fighting a Numbing Creature is a cause to want your mittens!


=== Hit Dice ===
Numbing Creatures may be natives of the remote frozen tundra, or natives of bright deserts. Numbing creatures may hail from the Plane of Air, or some putative Plane of Cold, or maybe they have evolved their cold nature in response to an infestation of Hellhounds. Numbing may be gifted by some Mage, or represent an alchemical potion they've poured over their heads before a battle. Maybe they are the minions of the mighty and terrible Snow Miser, and are working to blight the world by stealing all the cold.  The possibilities are nearly endless!
No changes.


=== Defensive Ability ===
Regardless of their origin or mechanics, Numbing Creatures are tough to battle from up close, and can give your melee players plenty of challenges to deal with!
A Numbing Skeleton gains the following abilities, which may be added to their Bestiary entry:
}}</onlyinclude>


'''Aura:''' Once per round, when it makes any attack action, a Numbing Skeleton emits a fine spray of bitter frost from its wintry bones.  This is a cold damage aura that effects all enemy creatures within CR/10 (round down, minimum 1) squares of the Numbing Skeleton's space. This damage aura inflicts 2d6+CR of cold damage.  Affected characters may make a Reflex save against a CR-appropriate DC for half damage (this is the base creature's CR, not it's template-adjusted CR).
| Short-Desc=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Short-Desc}}}
| Short-Desc| This creature seems to have an aspect of incredible, unnatural cold surrounding it.
}}</onlyinclude>


'''SR:''' Same as Base Creature
| Change-Type=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Change-Type}}}
| Change-Type|
}}</onlyinclude>


'''Special Defenses:''' The Numbing Skeleton gains ER/cold equal to CR+12.  If it already had ER/cold from another source, they do not stack, only the larger amount of ER applies.
| Add-Subtype=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Add-Subtype}}}
| Add-Subtype| Numbing
}}</onlyinclude>


=== Speed ===
| Change-Alignment=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Change-Alignment}}}
A Numbing Skeleton's base speed improves by ten feet in all movement categories it has.
| Change-Alignment|
  <!-- Values: Lawful Good, True Lawful, Lawful Evil, Pure Good, Neutral, Pure Evil, Chaotic Good, True Chaotic, Chaotic Evil -->
}}</onlyinclude>


=== Melee Attacks ===
  <!-- ABILITY SCORES -->
A Numbing Skeleton retains all the base creature's attacks, and its weapon and armor proficiencies. These attacks retain the same primary or secondary status they had for the base creature.  At CR 9 and above, the Numbing Skeleton adds 1d6 of cold damage to all its melee attacks.
  <!-- Except for INT, these stat changes are cosmetic and do not affect other numbers
      Just put in the number you want to ADD to the existing monster's stats          -->


=== Damage ===
| STR-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|STR-Adj}}}
The base damage of all attacks does not change.

Not just anybody can do this, you know. Well, okay, they can if they have this pattern. But otherwise...

Numbing Creature Pattern (+1 CR)

Subtype: add Numbing to subtypes


Numbing Creature is a pattern that adds a freezing aura to a creature. Whether they are made of snow, or have their hearts replaced with chunks of alchemical ice, exhale bitter frost, or sweat out freezing caloric rather than sweat, fighting a Numbing Creature is a cause to want your mittens!

Numbing Creatures may be natives of the remote frozen tundra, or natives of bright deserts. Numbing creatures may hail from the Plane of Air, or some putative Plane of Cold, or maybe they have evolved their cold nature in response to an infestation of Hellhounds. Numbing may be gifted by some Mage, or represent an alchemical potion they've poured over their heads before a battle. Maybe they are the minions of the mighty and terrible Snow Miser, and are working to blight the world by stealing all the cold. The possibilities are nearly endless!

Regardless of their origin or mechanics, Numbing Creatures are tough to battle from up close, and can give your melee players plenty of challenges to deal with!

This creature seems to have an aspect of incredible, unnatural cold surrounding it.

This is a cold damage aura that effects all enemy creatures within 1 squares of the Numbing Creature's space. This damage aura inflicts 1d3 points of cold (energy, common) damage. Affected creatures may make a Fortitude save agains a DC of 14 in order to take half damage.
