[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5459194, member: 57383"] It might help to familiarize yourself with how Blood Abilities work (see [B][I]Birthright Campaign Setting Rulebook[/I][/B], pages 20-29).

I'm guessing the frost breath weapon is part of his Bloodform, since I can't find any awnsheghs that have breath weapons as a separate blood ability. Then again, I believe "special" blood abilities aren't unusual for an awnshegh. Two (or is it three) Blood abilities is reasonable for a creature with 32 Blood Strength like the Ice Fiend. Unlike ordinary Blooded creatures, the ice fiend's Blood abilities seem to vary in strength with the season.
