"Oh come on! Boulders were bad enough, why can’t they…..oh, oh no, I’m stuck! Meldrin, help me!"
——Sebastian Pots, Adventuring Rogue
Frost Giant Hunters are trained to serve the clan, becoming the foremost experts on scavenging the open tundra and icy mountains for food and slaves. Clad in frosted Breast Plates backed by dirty hides, they practice with ranged weapons so that they can attack prey at a safe distance. Hunters prefer to first pin their targets down with a well-timed Javelin throw, then close in with their massive Greatspears infused with their frosty energies, further slowing their opponent while they finish them off. They are also skilled trackers and hunters, able to find food and resources in a harsh environment where such things are considered a luxury.
