Fey Wishcraft (Sp) Once per month, the Gentleman can make a mortal being wish come true, but only in a way that is somewhat related to frost or fire—for example he might bring an early winter, make the competitor's business burn in an accident, or bind an elemental into the mortal's service for an extended period of time... The Gentleman is in no way bound to fulfill anyone's wish, acting completely out of his own volition in that regard, and can't be magically compelled to do so. He will also never undo effects of one of his wishes.

Freezing Touch (Su) The Gentleman's left hand can freeze whatever he points at, dealing 4d6 points of cold damage to a single target as either a melee touch attack or a ranged touch attack with the range of 60 feet (no range increment). A confirmed critical hit with the freezing touch entangles the target for 1 round. The Gentleman taking a full attack action can attack once with his freezing touch and once with his scorching touch.

Inured To Elements (Ex) The Gentleman ignores effects of mundane cold and heat, can walk over any snow and ice without hindrance. Nonmagical wind has no effect on him, except for dramatically blowing his hair. Mud and other dirt never blemishes his clothing or hair, nor does rain.

Resonant Denial (Su) With a full-round action, The Gentleman can cause a catastrophic resonance between resistance to cold and fire. All creatures within 60 feet emanation centered on the Gentleman that have both cold resistance and fire resistance start to glow with faerie fire. At the start of the Gentleman's following turn, those of them who are still within the range suffer damage equal to the current value of the lower of those two resistances. A creature that was damaged by this ability becomes immune to its further applications for the next 24 hours. As a side effect, all the open flames within the range of this ability flicker for 1 round, and all the ice glows with multi-hued light.

Scorching Touch (Su) The Gentleman's right hand can burns whatever he points at, dealing 4d6 points of fire damage to a single target as either a melee touch attack or a ranged touch attack with the range of 60 feet (no range increment). A confirmed critical hit with the scorching touch staggers the target for 1 round. The Gentleman taking a full attack action can attack once with his freezing touch and once with his scorching touch.


The Gentleman With The Frozen Eyes And The Burning Hair is a primal elemental fey clad in the thin veneer of civilized customs. He is polite, refined, capricious, and unpredictable, changing moods on a moment's notice. He is not deliberately cruel, but he is self-centered and unable to empathize with others, incapable to understand that his whims and desires are not shared by others.

The Gentleman With The Frozen Eyes And The Burning Hair occasionally appears among the mortals to play his games with them, though those ungrateful bores rarely appreciate his magnanimity, fleeing or hiring brutal mercenaries to keep him off.

The Gentleman have been reported to be killed in the past, returning to life, or maybe being replaced by another similar being multiple times. Or maybe the news of his death were greatly exaggerated.
