I am running a game tonight in an arctic area, and I would like to present the party with dangers inherent in an icy terrain. Where can I find some interesting information and rules for these things? Avalanches, cold temperatures, ravines, the ice opening up, snowstorms, etc.?
Alright... I'm interested in the concept of a Nihilist -- someone who doesn't believe in magic and the like, instead prefering raw science and observation to explain phenomena. I seem ot recall hearing about such a class at one point, but I can't find any reference to it in my books. Does any such animal exist? Did it ever?
I think it's an awesome concept, and it toys with the idea of Active Belief and Active Disbelief. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
