Patient and crafty, a snow shaman avoids melee until all enemies are engaged, and then looks for a dangerous enemy to attack with his touch of fatigue or burning hands spell. Once his spells are expended, he wades into melee, swinging his morningstar. He looks for opportunities to flank foes with more skillful warriors.

Spells: This snow shaman is a 3rd-level adept.

Typical Spells Prepared (caster level 3rd): 0 - detect magic, cure minor wounds, touch of fatigue (+2 melee touch; DC 10); 1st - burning hands, cure light wounds.

Light Sensitivity (Ex): Orcs are dazzled in bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell.
