Rock Throwing (Ex): The range increment is 120 feet for a frost giant's thrown rocks.

Skills: *Frost giant tundra scouts wear specially made long white cloaks that give them a +2 circumstance bonus on Hide checks in snowy landscapes.

Tundra scouts often fight enemies in the wide-open spaces of the everfrost. They prefer to bombard their foes with long-distance rock throwing, and are willing to back away from enemies to keep the range open. Only when an enemy proves that a ranged fight is disadvantageous for the tundra scouts will they close in to melee. When possible, tundra scouts set deadly traps and prepare ambushes for unwary foes.

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.
