Choosing Attributes

Healing

In this campain we will use the Healing variant rule (DMG p. 267) Characters don't regain hit points at the end of a long rest. Instead, a character can spend Hit Dice to heal at the end of a long rest, just as with a short rest.

Hit Dice [Roll]

Starting in LV3 all will have the fixed value, later on each time you gain a level, you gain 1 additional Hit Die. Roll that Hit Die, add your Constitution modifier to the roll (minimum of 3, re-roll 1 & 2) to your hit point maximum.

Lingering injuries and Massive damage

Lingering

• If you fail the Con DC describe in the Dying , you must roll 1d10 on one of the Lingering tables.

---

Massive Damage

---

• When a creature takes damage equal to, or greater than, half its Hit Point maximum, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw (DC15), rolling on the table below on a fail.

Damage Types

The Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign brings important changes to damage types. The campaign introduces new type of damage - frost damage - that is inherently different from cold damage. Failing a CON save check vs the spellcast DC or weather DC [called later Frost Checks (FC)] get the Frost condition .
Spells and effects that cause frost damage cover a creature in growing layer of frost that can become just as impenetrable as permafrost. Effects and abilities that grant resistance to cold damage do not affect frost damage.

Resistance to cold damage only affects spells and attacks that cause cold damage. It doesn't provide protection against prolonged exposure to cold or extreme cold weather. There is one exception, however - immunity to cold damage also grants immunity to cold and extreme cold weather. For example, Frost Giants do not suffer the effect of cold and extreme cold weather.

Other Rules

Variant Encumbrance Rule.
Fear and Stress. add a Skill at 0
Sidekicks. LV Half rounded up of the PC.
Loyalty. Encountered or Hired NPC or Sidekick have them.
Flanking. Remove Advantage and add +2 (+4 if are four PC) to the Attack roll, ranged attacks also add, if the creature is already flanked.

Weather

During Auril's everlasting winter, the average temperature in Icewind Dale is −49 degrees Fahrenheit (−45 degrees Celsius). Wind chill can lower these temperatures by as much as -80 degrees. A creature exposed to the cold must succeed on a DC Constitution saving throw at midnight and in the end of each hour in a blizzard storm or immersed in frigid water every 3 min or gain one level of exhaustion. In the following table you will determine the temperature and its corresponding saving throw.

Frost Check (FC). If they fail, they gain one level of exhaustion. If a player fails by more than ten, they gain two levels of exhaustion. In the Rime there are a wide variety of cold temperatures. The DC increases by 5 for each 20 degree drop from 0 to -80 degrees. Temperatures may vary depending on altitude, exposure and weather.

Shelter

Any PC can spend a short rest (1hrs minimun) to make a improvised shelter for one person or pitch a tent to get a well rest condition (long rest effect) a PC without completing the necessary time of sleep can't get the well rest condition (if the race need 8hrs or Trance). A shelter + and any heat source + food + needed time of rest, reduce 1 level of exhaustion.

Camp Activities

Pitch a tent without any measure of defense or exposed can allure hunger creatures to a midnight snack. The DM rolls a d4 on the table below to decide what campsite properties are found.

---

Camp properties	D4
Defendable	1
Hidden	2
Comfortable	3
Exposed	4

Fortify Camp

---

Skill: Strength (Athletics).
You can use wooden spikes or large boulders to barricade your campsite or dig a ditch and build ramparts. A successful DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check adds the Defendable property to your campsite if it doesn't already have it. The DM may increase the DC of the check due to terrain or climate complications.

Camouflage Camp

---

Skill: Dexterity (Stealth).
You can gather and use natural materials like rocks or foliage to hide your campsite. A successful DC 15 Dexterity (Stealth) check adds the Hidden property to your campsite if it doesn't have it. The DM may increase the DC of the check due to terrain or climate complications.

Set up Traps

---

Skill: Dexterity (sleight of hand).
You can set a number of small traps like caltrops, slings, and small pits around your camp. The DC to find these traps with an Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) check, as well as the DC for any saving throw made to resist their effects is equal to the result of your Dexterity (sleight of hand) check adds the Confortable property to your campsite if it doesn't have it.

These traps do 2d4 damage if triggered and enough noise for guards to hear them, or sleeping creatures to attempt Constitution saving throws to be alarmed and awakened.

Tend to the Weary

---

Skill: proficient Wisdom (Medicine) and a Comfortable camp.
You go around camp, making sure that the wounds and condition of up to six creatures other than yourself have taken all precautions against extreme weather. For each ally, spend a use of healer's kit and make a check against DC 15.

At the end of the long rest, every tended creature that removed level of Exhaustion during its long rest and still has more levels of Exhaustion, removes an additional level of Exhaustion.

Tool Proficiencies

Tool proficiencies are a useful way to highlight a character's background and talents. At the game table, though, the use of tools sometimes overlaps with the use of skills, and it can be unclear how to use them together in certain situations. XGE p78. Any skill checks that need to be made, may also add the proficency to the roll with the required tool. Must be proficient in the tool to add the bonus using the Hammunds Crafting table.

Races

Some races are known for some kind of works, their bloodlines let them be better than others in some extent with the right tool.

• Humans - Jack of all trades, master of none, they can add half their INT modifier rounded down (minimun 1) to the tool bonus.
• Dwarfs - With the proficency in Brewer's Supplies, Mason's Tools can double the tool bonus or Smith's Tools they can add the tool bonus to the AC armor or weapon crafted.
• Elfs - With the proficency in Jeweler's Tools, Painter's Supplies can double the tool bonus, in Smith's Tools can add the tool bonus to the Swing table.

Some other races have their own additions or proficiency, any race are subject to review per player request, content is re-evaluated, re-balanced and included in this campaign supplement. Working together can down the time needed in craft or foraging and stack bonuses with diferent races.

Relevant Ability Score

What is better for making a Quarterstaff, Carpenter’s tools or Woodcarver’s Tools? The decision lies with the DM, but it should be noted neither the tools nor the proficiency brings with it any structural requirements if they exist. A Smith will still need a forge to properly apply their craft.
