Cold Subtype (Ex): Taers are immune to cold damage but are vulnerable to fire attacks. They take 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.

Skills: Taers receive a +8 racial bonus on all Climb checks and can always choose to take 10, even if rushed or threatened. Taers also receive a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks in snowy conditions.

Taers can attack barehanded and deal punishing blows through sheer strength and savagery, but most are armed with crude spears or clubs. They often wear poorly cured hide armor, and many smear themselves with taer stench grease.

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.
