The Black Channels spell will turn a Normal Unit into an Undead unit.Units can be turned into Undead in several different ways: Similarly, units that die and are brought back as Undead units are also Immune to Cold. It is not a coincidence that all of the units with default Cold Immunity are Death creatures: these creatures are not alive, and thus do not react to the cold. There is only one method in which to add Cold Immunity to a unit: by turning that unit into an Undead unit. All of these are Fantastic Creatures from the Death realm: Once the unit has made its defense rolls against this specific attack, its Defense score is restored to normal.Ĭold Immunity is a rather common type of immunity, possessed by no less than 10 different kinds of units by default.
Note that the Cold-Immune unit's Defense score is raised only for the purpose of blocking damage from a Cold Damage attack. Ice Bolt can be a little more threatening, but its caster would need to spend a hefty amount of Mana to make the spell strong enough to threaten such a unit - and even then is extremely unlikely to cause more than a scant few points of Damage, if any! Ice Storm is completely unthreatening to units with Cold Immunity, and will practically never cause any damage to them due to its low Damage output. There are currently only 2 known sources of Cold Damage, and both sources are spells from the Nature Realm: Ice Bolt and Ice Storm. It is unlikely for any attack to actually get through this much Defense, and normally results in the unit taking no damage whatsoever. Therefore, the unit can make 50 To Block rolls, blocking on average 15 points of Damage - an impressively-high amount. Whenever a Cold Damage attack is performed against a unit with Cold Immunity, the unit's Defense rating is immediately raised to 50. Though very-extreme cold can still cause additional damage, it is unlikely to harm the creature to any serious degree.Ĭold Immunity is a passive ability that protects a unit specifically from Cold Damage. Their bodies are already rotting, decomposed, or not even there anymore - and so they have no need for heat and no problem with being chilled. Naturally, creatures that are not actually alive do not have much to fear from the cold. As a result, attacks that drastically lower a target's temperature can cause it severe damage or even kill it. Not only is heat necessary for the survival of most creatures, but cold itself can disable and even destroy living tissue. Extreme cold temperatures are very dangerous to most living things.
