Prostoyan Traits
Your character's natural affinity with cold manifests in traits they share in common with all other Prostoyans.

'Ability Score Increase. 'Your Constitution score increases by 2 and your Dexterity score increases by 1.

'Age. 'A Prostoyan reaches adulthood in their late teens and lives less than a century.

'Alignment. 'Prostoyans don't have a tendency toward any one alignment. They range the gamut from chaotic to lawful, from good to bad.

'Size. 'Prostoyans vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, you size is Medium.

'Speed. 'Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

'Winter Born. 'You have resistance to cold damage and are acclimated to living in cold climates.

'Hail Stance. 'As a bonus action you can assume a stance that attunes you to the permafrost of your homeland. Hail Stance lasts for a minute and while in this stance the range of weapons with the range property is doubled, your projectiles ignore half cover, and you can manufacture ammunition that deals cold damage instead of it's normal damage type. If you are within 30 feet of another Prostoyan with which you share a bond who is also in Hail Stance your attacks ignore 3/4 cover and the ammunition you create gains +1 to attack and damage. If you move, of your own choice or through forced movement, Hail Stance ends. Any ammunition you created with this feature melts when the stance ends. You regain this use of this feature after a long rest.

'Too Cold to Speak Of. 'You know the message cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the hail of thorns spell as a 1st-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your ability score for this spell.

'Languages. 'You can speak, read, and write Prostoyan and Valdan. Prostoyan is convoluted language with two words for any given meaning with slightly different definitions. It is often compared to sounds of the submerged rivers and creeks which flow under the ice that covers Prostoya.
