	Resist cold is a spell that allows the caster to grant protection to recipients against natural cold exposure and [[Cold-based Attacks\|cold-based attacks]]. The spell provides some improvement over [[Temperature Grades\|the ambient comfort]] of the weather, allowing the recipient to withstand colder conditions with greater ease. However, the brief duration of the spell makes this an ineffective tool for travel in the outdoors.

+Damage that results from ambient cold, such as the unnatural chill radiating from an [[Ice Toad|ice toad]], is similarly mitigated. This spell reduces such harm by 1 [[Hit Points|hit point]] per die, or, in cases where the effect is weak enough, it may nullify the whole amount entirely.

-When the character is subject to cold-based spells, such as [[Ice Storm (spell)|ice storm]], or is threatened by a dragon's icy breath — and other like attacks — the spell provides a [[Saving Throws|+3 saving throw]] against either magic or [[Breath Weapon|breath weapon]].  The spell also reduces the [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] done by these attacks by one-half.
+Where cold presents a direct threat, the caster can employ the spell just prior.  For example, if it's necessary to dive into freezing water, or bypass a deadly cold trap, such as an enchanted frost-covered floor or an ancient corridor rimed with ice, the spell would be very useful.

 The spell will provide some improvement over [[Temperature Grades|the ambient comfort]] of the weather.  In cases where the weather is [[Chilly Conditions|chilly]] or colder, the spell will improve the recipient's comfort to where the conditions are no worse than [[Brisk Conditions|brisk]].  However, this improvement is limited to a maximum of four better temperature grades.  Thus, [[Cold Conditions|cold conditions]] cannot be improved above chilly and [[Very Cold Conditions|very cold conditions]] cannot be improved above [[Frosty Conditions|frosty]] weather.  The spell is likewise less effective in [[Bitterly Cold Conditions|bitterly cold]], [[Arctic Conditions|arctic]] and [[Polar Conditions|polar conditions]].

-Similar to [[Endure Cold & Heat (spell)|endure cold & heat]], resist cold will allow comfort for the recipient to as low as wintry conditions.
+The spell will further increase the comfort level of cold weather, improving the ambient conditions by the equivalent of four [[Temperature Grades|temperature grades]], to a maximum of pleasant conditions.  Thus a very cold day may be made merely frosty, or a frosty day made pleasant.
