False Appearance. While motionless, the snowman is indistinguishable from an ordinary snowman.
Meltable. If it takes fire damage, or is exposed to warm temperatures for an hour or more, the snowman’s size is reduced to Small. If it is exposed to fire or warm temperatures while Small, it is destroyed. While Small, the snowman can spend an action to restore itself to Medium size if it has access to snow.
Local Spirit. The snowman is destroyed if it travels more than a mile from the place it was created.
Spell-created. The DC for dispel magic to destroy this creature is 19.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The snowman uses Snowball and makes two slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage.
Snowball. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d6 + 2) cold damage.
Hat of Illusion (1/Day). While wearing a hat or other head covering, the snowman takes on the illusory appearance of the last living humanoid to wear that hat. It requires a DC 12 Insight or Perception check to recognize the illusion. The illusion ends when the snowman is touched, takes damage, attacks, or uses Snowball, or when the snowman chooses to end it as a bonus action.
Combat
The snowman uses snowball and then slams a target. Most snowmen guard a particular person or place and don’t chase a fleeing enemy.
Snowmen are made of snow, making them seasonal guardians outside the frozen tundra.
