Frost Man Vampire Spawn - CR5 Undead

It’s nearly impossible for most creatures to live in the arctic wilderness.  But that just means that if you run into a creature, there’s a good chance it’s not actually alive.

Artwork by Josh Nizzi at joshnizzi.com, copyright Marvel Studios.

Frost Men are a race of wandering, rugged nomads who live in the wilderness of the tundra at the edges of the world.  They call themselves frost folk, but other races only ever see adult males, and so call them frost men.  The frost folk never correct them.  They’re originally from Forgotten Realms, and appeared in D&D 1e and 3e, but were converted to Pathfinder by Necromancer Games.  The D&D 3e lore is somewhat different, making female frost folk simply an unusual sight instead of being unheard of.

This is a frost man that was turned into a vampire’s thrall, presumably after trying to fight a vampire and losing.  Vampire spawns typically ignore everything about the base creature and completely overwrite their stats with those of a wight, but to me that makes more sense when the base creature is a human.  I wanted something that felt more like it was still connected to the frozen wilderness, even in undeath.

It annoys me that the typical vampiric “if defeated in combat, it becomes totally invulnerable and flies home to its coffin” nonsense applies to vampire spawns, which are theoretically meant to be used as nameless combat minions in a vampire adventure, not complex exploration encounters that force you to track down each one’s coffin.  A lot of vampire spawns probably don’t even have coffins, considering they're just captured enemies being used as cannon fodder.  With that in mind, I slightly altered the frost man vampire spawn’s version of this ability, compared to a typical vampire.

Frost Man Vampire Spawn - CR 5

The pale, largely unprotected body of this frost man wanderer seems unaffected by the ice and snow.  He has an axe in one hand, and he casts no shadow on the frozen tundra.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Frost Howl (Su) Once per day as a standard action, with its voice, a frost man vampire spawn can create a ten foot ring of supernatural frost on the ground around it.  Creatures within a 10-foot radius of the frost man vampire spawn when it performs this technique take 1d6+4 points of cold damage, and can make a DC 16 Reflex save to halve this damage.  The save DC is Charisma-based.

A frost man vampire spawn is immune to the effects of its own ring of frost.  A creature can walk within or through the area of ice at half its normal speed with a successful DC 10 Acrobatics check.  Failure by 4 or less means the creature can’t move that round (and must succeed at a Reflex save or fall); failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill).  Creatures that do not move on their turn do not need to attempt this check.  The ring of frost lasts until it naturally melts (about 6 hours in comfortable weather).

A frost man vampire spawn cannot use this technique if it is silenced.

Ice Blast (Su) Three times per day as a standard action, a frost man vampire spawn can release a blast of freezing mist in a 30-foot cone from the eye underneath its eye patch.  A frost man vampire spawn can remove its eye patch as a free action.  A creature in the area takes 3d6 points of cold damage (DC 16 Reflex for half).  The save DC is Charisma-based.

Hunter’s Mark (Su) As a swift action, once per day, a frost man vampire spawn may place an invisible mark on a creature that it can see.  Its attacks against this target have a +2 bonus to hit, and the frost man vampire thrall can perceive the approximate direction of the marked creature if it is within 1000 feet.  This effect lasts for one hour.

Blood Drain (Su) A frost man vampire spawn can suck blood from a grappled opponent; if the vampire spawn establishes or maintains a pin, it drains blood, dealing 1d4 points of Constitution damage.  The vampire spawn heals 5 hit points or gains 5 temporary hit points for 1 hour (up to a maximum number of temporary hit points equal to its full normal hit points) each round it drains blood.

Dominate (Su) A frost man vampire spawn can crush the will of an opponent with the cold subtype as a standard action.  Anyone the spawn targets must succeed on a Will save (DC 16) or fall instantly under the frost man vampire spawn’s influence, as though by a dominate monster spell (caster level 12th).  The ability has a range of 30 feet.

Energy Drain (Su) A creature hit by a frost man vampire spawn’s slam (or other natural weapon) gains one negative level.  This ability only triggers once per round, regardless of the number of attacks a frost man vampire spawn makes.  See Energy Drain description for details.

Vampiric Fast Healing (Su) A frost man vampire spawn gains fast healing 2.  If reduced to 0 hit points in combat, a vampire spawn assumes gaseous form (see below) and attempts to escape.  It must reach an area of natural outdoor ice or snow within 2 hours or be utterly destroyed.  (It can normally travel up to 9 miles in 2 hours.)  Additional damage dealt to a frost man vampire spawn forced into gaseous form has no effect.  Once at rest, the vampire is helpless, and an ice tomb with 20 hit points forms around it as the gaseous form wears off.  The frost man vampire spawn heals at the rate of only 2 hit points per hour while reforming inside this ice tomb, instead of its normal fast healing rate, and remains paralyzed and unconscious until its hit points are fully restored, at which point the ice tomb shatters and the frost man vampire spawn emerges.  If the ice tomb is destroyed while the frost man vampire spawn is still healing, the ice tomb reforms 1 hour later unless the frost man vampire spawn is destroyed.

Gaseous Form (Su) When reduced to 0 hit points in combat, a vampire spawn can assume gaseous form (caster level 5th), as the spell, but it can remain gaseous indefinitely and has a fly speed of 20 feet with perfect maneuverability.  It cannot assume gaseous form under any other circumstance.

Shadowless (Ex) A frost man vampire spawn casts no shadows and shows no reflection in a mirror.

Spider Climb (Ex) A frost man vampire spawn can climb sheer surfaces as though under the effects of a spider climb spell.

Vampire Weaknesses Frost man vampire spawns cannot tolerate the strong odor of garlic and will not enter an area laced with it.  Similarly, they recoil from mirrors or strongly presented holy symbols.  These things don’t harm the frost man vampire spawn—they merely keep it at bay.  A recoiling frost man vampire spawn must stay at least 5 feet away from the mirror or holy symbol and cannot touch or make melee attacks against that creature.  Holding a frost man vampire spawn at bay takes a standard action.  After 1 round, a frost man vampire spawn can overcome its revulsion of the object and function normally each round it makes a DC 25 Will save.

Frost man vampire spawns cannot enter a private home or dwelling unless invited in by someone with the authority to do so.

Reducing a frost man vampire spawn’s hit points to 0 or lower incapacitates it but doesn’t always destroy it (see fast healing).  However, certain attacks can slay frost man vampire spawns.  Exposing any frost man vampire spawn to direct sunlight staggers it on the first round of exposure and destroys it utterly on the second consecutive round of exposure if it does not escape.   Each round of immersion in running water inflicts damage on a frost man vampire spawn equal to one-third of its maximum hit points—a frost man vampire spawn reduced to 0 hit points in this manner is destroyed.  Driving a wooden stake through a helpless frost man vampire spawn’s heart instantly slays it (this is a full-round action).  However, it returns to life if the stake is removed, unless the head is also severed and anointed with holy water.

Ooppssss. I forgot I had this good news to share 🥰 (one more message)

The mud actually signifies fighting and indicates things could get a little messy OR perhaps things were messy in the past between y’all.

The person who comes to mind for me is Dr. Josh Axe 🪓 because I saw an axe 🪓 and his name is Josh 😅

Dr. Axe is so wholesome!!! His information has helped me tremendously on my own healing journey and I think that’s symbolic of the healing that will need to take place between this man and his family/future wife. There was a lot of pain involved. I felt it 💔

PS. This message may not exactly be for Dr. Axe haha. As I said before, I could not see the other man’s face but whoever he is, he loves you girlllllllll

You or your person could be from the UK 🇬🇧 These type of species of pigs originate from that region OR your person could be bi-racial.

Also, the pig was the size of all these 4️⃣ put together. Perhaps this person had to come up against quite the competition.

This situation will need to be handled delicately with love and care. True feelings of love are involved 😣

Don’t get mud on your shoes 👟 lol

After posting this I had a vision of a lion in the mud. Just wow. 😮

I also heard “the Judas is from the UK”. So this person could have betrayed you just as Judas betrayed his best friend Jesus 🩸🇬🇧 They wanna come HOME 🏡

Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later (1998)

Making your way through a franchise compels you to rank the installments from best to worst. Having reached Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, I’d put it third on the list after the original and the first sequel. That sounds promising but actually, it’s more of a testimony to the weakness of the follow-ups than to this one’s success.

Set after Halloween II and ignoring all subsequent chapters, it’s October 29th, 1998. Michael Myers (Chris Durand) has acquired Laurie Strode’s address from Dr. Loomis’ personal files. Meanwhile, in Summer Glen, California, Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) has faked her death and is living under the name “Keri Tate”, raising her son John (Josh Hartnett) while remaining haunted by the tragic events of 1978. She has no idea Myers is once again on her trail.

In some ways, this is a “good” sequel to Halloween II in that it maintains the continuity established and progresses the story further. This Michael Myers was described as “pure evil” by the late Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance having passed away in 1995) but really, he’s a deranged “normal” human being who is obsessively stalking his sister. Nothing supernatural going on. It’s not the way I like my Halloween but your mileage may vary. Regardless of your preferences, credit is due to Jamie Lee Curtis for her portrayal of Laurie Strode and to the filmmakers for the conclusion. Laurie isn’t like the characters we usually see in horror movies. She knows that knocking Myers down isn’t enough so she grabs an axe; she knows the killer is after her and uses it as a way to protect her son from harm. As for the finale, I don't want to give away too much, but it doesn’t get much more definitive than this. It would be impossible for another confrontation between Strode and Myers to happen.

I said “good” earlier because this film consistently makes some major mistakes. First of all, this Michael Myers isn’t frightening at all. His mask looks cheap and trashy. You’d think the people in charge would’ve taken the time and effort to make it look 1) like the original 2) appropriately weathered considering it’s been 20 years since Myers last wore it, and 3) intimidating. They didn’t. Throughtout the whole film you can clearly see Myers’ eyes, which makes him look human and therefore vulnerable. You believed he could take several gunshots and disappear into the night 20 years ago. Now? It seems ridiculous.

The best parts of this film have Strode pitted against Myers either in person, or psychologically when she “sees” him in reflections or in the distance. Everything else is generic and a waste of time. John and his friends are only there to give us a body count and they play no part in the film’s conclusion. We get one decent kill that involves a service elevator. The rest lean toward the unintentionally funny. Some of the humorous tone is clearly deliberate. LL Cool J’s portrayal of a security guard is played for laughs all the way through but this is less of an attempt to bring new life in the franchise and merely someone trying and failing to emulate the success of Scream, released 2 years earlier. That film was lampooning slashers while also being one. The humor was subversive. The protagonists being able to knock the killer over with conventional weapons didn’t take away the tension because their identity was still a secret. Here? It deflates the potential for terror completely. There isn’t a scene in this film that’s tense or scary.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later shows just enough potential for you to stick with it, but this just makes it more disappointing. Even if you like the path this installment chooses, I doubt you’ll be pleased by its lack of scares and lackluster killer. Ironically, that awkward title is just about perfect. This is a clunky, uneven film with ambition. (On Blu-ray, October 29, 2021)

Probiotic Diet Offers Hope for Digestive Problems, ‘God Purposed Me to Share This Message’

Originally published by Lorie Johnson on CBN News.

Nearly 70 million Americans report suffering from some type of digestive issue, according to government statistics, while it’s believed many more suffer in silence.

While the causes can vary, some point to an unhealthy diet and say reversing that pattern can make all the difference. 

Jordan’s Story

While serving as a Bible camp counselor, Jordan Rubin became suddenly ill with an inflammatory bowel disease that became so severe it eventually caused him to lose 80 pounds and the ability to walk. 

“I didn’t understand how a young man who was living for God, I didn’t do all the normal things that people do at college, I was ministering to people, I wanted to go into ministry, and here I was having what I considered a fate worse than death,” he told CBN News.

After being diagnosed with Crohn’s colitis, Jordan saw dozens of doctors over a two-year period to no avail. Then he met Joseph Brasco, M.D., a Huntsville, Alabama gastroenterologist. 

“It was curious to me that he didn't seem to have any good response to anything,” Dr. Brasco told CBN News.

That changed, however, when the two embarked on a program for Jordan that finally produced positive results.

A Complete Recovery

Dr. Brasco helped Jordan adopt a diet to help balance his gut microbiome. That’s the ecosystem of good and bad bacteria in the intestines that scientists have discovered can have wide-ranging health implications. 

The key for Jordan was to follow a diet plan putting lots of good bacteria, called probiotics, and other healthy foods into his system while staying away from items that led to the growth of bad bacteria. 

“Twelve weeks after I started this plan, I went from 100-plus pounds in a wheelchair to 170 pounds on my 21st birthday, working out on the beach,” Jordan said.

The experience was so profound, Jordan dedicated his life to becoming a natural health expert. He, Dr. Brasco, and fellow natural health expert Dr. Josh Axe, are sharing the plan that turned Jordan’s life around in the book The Probiotic Diet:  Improve Digestion, Boost Your Brain Health, and Supercharge Your Immune System. 

“When I was healed, I knew that God had now purposed me to share this message of help and hope with his people all over the world,” Jordan said. 

The diet is for people struggling with all kinds of digestive problems. 

“Fatty liver, Diverticular disease, certainly Irritable Bowel, chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea, and I do believe that these are greatly, greatly, improved, if not completely eradicated, with a diet like the Probiotic Diet,” said Dr. Brasco.

How It Works

The Probiotic Diet involves taking a daily probiotic supplement, then moving to consume the various foods and beverages containing probiotics, so-called “good bugs,” which are various types of living bacteria proven to be good for us.

“Think about cultured or fermented dairy,” Rubin explained. “Yogurt and kefir which is available everywhere. Even high-quality sour cream has probiotics, and cottage cheese has probiotics, sour kraut, kimchi, and pickles if they’re made the right way, apple cider vinegar has probiotics, kombucha, kvass.”

While many of these items may seem new, most are actually very old.

“Fermented foods have been a part of many human cultures for forever,” said Dr. Brasco. “And it’s only maybe in the last century or so that we’ve started to move away and become so fearful of bacteria, and not realizing there are things that are actually good bacteria.”

“Probiotic foods were very popular in the Bible,” said Rubin. “So if you hear about Sarah killing the fattened calf, getting curds, or David delivering to his brothers against the Philistines, curds, they weren't simply cheese. This would have been a yogurt, a kefir, or perhaps a cheese.”

Please sign up for CBN Newsletters and download the CBN News app to ensure you keep receiving the latest news from a distinctly Christian perspective.

Since the good bacteria are alive, like most living organisms, they need food, called prebiotics, to survive and reproduce. 

Fiber-rich foods, like vegetables, are what health experts consider to be prebiotics, which helps the good bacteria to stay alive and multiply. Other examples of high-fiber foods include fruit, beans, and whole grains. 

What to Avoid

While a healthy gut microbiome involves adding lots of good bacteria and fiber to our diet, it also calls for subtracting other items, like processed foods and sweets, which can lead to the overgrowth of bad bacteria. 

“We’ve had many people, they come in with chronic G.I. disorders,” said Dr. Brasco. “And we say, ‘Look, just get rid of sugar, and please don’t add sugar substitutes.’ We see them back a month, six weeks later, and the vast majority of them are significantly better.”

So while millions of people look for relief from painful digestive problems, for some, it can be found in The Probiotic Diet, which promotes consuming fermented selections and whole foods created by God. Modern scientists recently discovered this old plan can help us feel better by achieving the right balance of good and bad bacteria in our gut.

5 Signs of Vitamin D Deficiency and What You Can Do About It!

We are past the holiday season for 2018 and are now fully into 2019. Guess what? It is getting cold out there! Sometimes we experience the blues at this time of year.

After all, we may decide to stay indoors more of the time and if we live in an area that gets inclement weather frequently, the roads are more difficult to traverse. 

One possible affliction is seasonal affective disorder, and we may be wanting to sleep in longer, we may be craving foods high in carbs, like pizza which can easily be delivered to our doors, we may be less energetic and more lethargic, etc.

We may even experience some weight gain over this season. Undoubtedly now would be a good time to check Vitamin D levels, a blood test that can be performed by your health care practitioner.

Speaking of Vitamin D, When Your Levels Are Low, You May

1. Get Ill Often and Just Attribute It to the Weather, Etc., You May

2. Experience Being Tired and Lethargic Frequently

3. You May Experience Pain in Your Bones, Perhaps Due to Bone Loss

4. You May Suffer From Depression, either Low Grade or Clinical

5. You May Suffer Hair Loss, as Well

Dr. Josh Axe, a naturopathic physician, explains Vitamin D deficiency here: He describes the many purposes that Vitamin D serves in the human body and what deficiencies can result in. 

These are just 5 of many other symptoms which could indicate your Vitamin D levels are way too low! It is always best to check with a healthcare practitioner when deciding what you want to do about it. 

Since depression is a very present symptom, check out this blog by Quinton Kiser, who has successfully conquered his depression and is living medication-free and enjoying life more! 

If you are keeping up on the latest research in this area of how genes interact with internal and external environments (epigenetics), you may know that depression, which may be connected with Vitamin D deficiency, is very aligned with the diets we consume.

Not only that but our mindfulness practices and levels of sociability, as well as our spiritual practices are all playing a role in how we function as a whole human being, meaning we are not just the sum of our parts!

Our course, Prevention: Holistic Strategies for Healthy Living and Avoiding Substance Use, reviews 10 facets of keeping away the blues and promoting exceptional health and healing, including diet, addictive foods, processed foods, moods, behavior, social life, brain function, spirituality, movement, and the all-important balance. 

In fact, after you take the course, I hope you may be inspired to make some drastic and positive lifestyle changes. For example, be inspired to create your own delicious and healthy meals using healthy whole foods and freeze them for later!
