Description
The frost giant mauler lives for the opportunity to get his hands on his foes. He is an expert grappler, and looks for any opportunity to leap on a solitary foe and wrestle him or her to the ground. Even the mightiest knight or wizard can be rendered helpless in the crushing grasp of a mauler, slowly broken by the giant's terrible strength.
A mauler fighting alone against multiple foes uses his Awesome Blow and Improved Bull Rush feats to get at least a couple of enemies out of the way before resorting to his deadly grapple.
Cold Subtype
A creature with the cold subtype has immunity to cold. It has vulnerability to fire, which means it takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from fire, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.
