MOUNTAINEER (2370)

High on the rugged mountaintops and across the expanses of Theran's frigid
tundra exist a breed of ranger hailed to be the most rugged of all. The
mountaineers thrive in cold climates and on rugged land, learned in the secrets
of these environments.

While a mountaineer finds himself less comfortable in areas of warmth or dense
foliage, his enemies shudder to face him on his own turf. These rangers stride
effortlessly along inclines steep enough to make others collapse in exhaustion,
and brush off freezing attacks with ease. They locate herbs in these climates
that are overlooked by others as common scrub, and his imbued weapons are said
to carry the spirit of arctic fury within. Rumors are whispered of warcries so
mighty, that rockslides are triggered from the mountaintops, and mountainmen
can gain impressive momentum when they emulate the mighty kodiaks of the north.

In addition, a mountaineer will gain the following abilities:
 Endure Cold, Sure Footing and Boreal Wind

Mountaineers lose the following abilities: scrolls, protection heat cold,
 bark skin, backrake.

Races that can be mountaineers are: Humans, Half-Elves, Elves, Wood-Elves,
Cloud Giants, Arials, Felar, Svirfneblin, Frost Giant, and Centaurs.
