Surviving in the north means mastering tracking, effectively hunting wild game, learning to guide safely through frozen wastes, identify signs that a frost giant may live nearby, predict the weather, or avoid potential avalanche zones or other natural hazards.[/indent] [*][B]Minor:[/B] [indent]Knowledge (Local & Nature): Decades spent born and raised in the snowy tundra of the north has provided a great deal of information that could only be acquired through experience. The knowledge obtained about the local area and the nature that encompasses its environment is invaluable in the grand scheme when surrounded by the wilds. This particular knowledge is something that could only be learned through real life trial and error. [/indent] [/List] [B]Magic:[/B] [Indent]Wild Shape: Hamelyn has the ability to turn himself into a dire bear and back again once per day. This ability functions nearly identically to a [i]polymorph[/i] spell except as further noted. The effect lasts for 4 hours, or until he changes back. Particularly skilled practitioners of this magical ability may choose a form an animal that is familiar to the practitioner; however, as with many tribal communities in the north practitioners gather in small cabal hidden amongst those communities. While Hamely is able to take the form of a dire bear. Hamelyn loses the ability to speak while in this animal form because he is limited to the sounds that a normal, untrained animal can make, but he can communicate normally with other bears regardless of their species. On the downside, upon returning to his normal human form the Hamelyn is afflicted by a great fatigue that leaves him nearly helpless. In most instances it mimics the length of time he spent in his wild shape; however, this can be altered as well. If he was involved in combat or injured, if he ate or spent a good deal of time in a state of relaxation or spent much of his time completing easy tasks. These things may force his state of fatigue to be altered. [/Indent] [B]Strength:[/B] [List] [*] Where other might struggle to maintain their balance, Hamelyn can move through scree and dense rubble at a normal speed, including steep slopes or stairs. [*] Hamelyn often relies on mobility to sneak in strike the foe in its weakest point and allow him a stronger defense. This strength only applies against living creatures that have a discernable anatomy as it will allow him to launch a true assault on the most vital points of a creature’s body. [*] He is a swift tracker being able to move at his normal speed while following tracks, while others may find folly in trying to rush through prints difficult to discern. [*] Hamelyn, being well acquainted with the dangers of mountainous terrain is more surefooted than others. His balance, ability to move silently, and tumbling are not hindered from scree, light rubble, dense rubble, steep slopes, or stairs. He also finds it much easy to maintain balance when running or charging down a steep slope. [*] A master of camouflage in the frozen north, Hamelyn is able to find safety hidden amongst most natural terrain. [/List] [B]Weaknesses:[/B] [List] [*] As a member of a typically nomadic tribe spending their time moving along with the herds of caribou and other migratory animals, Hamelyn has been raised to be illiterate. He along with many others in his tribe is unable to either read or write. In fact, few in his tribe as well as many other tribes are able to write let alone read. Stories, historical information, or the like is transferred through the generations by word of mouth. [*] Many people indigenous to a region that by the climate or natural environment are innately exclusionary, often times have little interaction with those beyond their natural borders. Because of this, Hamelyn like many of his tribe and other tribes across the frozen tundra carries with him a xenophobia in the form of prejudice and bigotry. Often times outsiders are looked down upon, ignored, treated violently or with great disdain. [*] Hamelyn is extremely blunt to the point of causing great offense even within his own tribe. This makes him frank, callous, insensitive and brusque. More often than not it can lead to arguments that quickly turn physical. The latter results Hamelyn prefers but it can quickly escalate into trouble for more than just him. [*] Hamelyn suffers from a disorder that uncommonly afflicts people of the northern tribes commonly known as Frost Lung. Side effects include shortness of breath, chest pain, and a hacking cough that may contain blood which is more persistent in cold weather when coupled with strenuous activity. When active it can making breathing difficult and catching one's breath even harder still. It is often hereditary, however; to Hamelyn’s knowledge his parents were not afflicted by the disease.
