If the character has some help, cut this time in half. A single character doing nothing else can help one or two adjacent characters. Two characters can't help each other don armor at the same time.

Northlander armor consists of an underlay of thick mammoth hide, topped with a mantle of fine fur. Breeches and arm coverings are double-layered with flexible beast leather and gloves are padded and thick. The head is usually protected by a thick hood. Boots are fur-clad and belted for traction in snow. The northlander armor is always masterwork; price and benefits are subsumed in the above statistics.

The northlander armor provides the following benefits when worn, on top of its general protective capabilities.

• You gain damage reduction 3/piercing.
• You can move at normal speed across any snow and ice. You are unaffected by any difficult terrain involving snow, ice and similar slippery underground and gain a +4 bonus to any saving throws against cold hazards and effects based on snow and ice.
• You count as having level 2 cold protection or your existing level of cold protection increases by +2 (see Protection against Cold, Frostburn pg. 9).

Craft (hide and leatherworking) DC 22. Market Price 550 gp.
