I kind of expected something like this to happen when I went into Horizon Walker in Reign of Winter, but still decided to roll with it.
1) The cold terrain is not explained well. Is it a big type of all terrains that are not temperate or hot, or is it specifically glaciers/tundra? Does Irrisen as a whole count as a favored terrain, even when the terrain is not a glacier, like a forest or even a city as big as the Whitethrone? Does any terrain during winter count, when it's covered in snow or is filled with ice? Paizo explicitly changed terrain type to "arctic" in 2e, should cold terrain be viewed as such?
2) Do planes overlap with the terrain type? Can you count First World foresty areas as a forest? Can you count Cocytus as a cold terrain? You can argue that any planar terrain requires specifically selected plane as a favored terrain.
3) Specific Horizon Walker/Forester Hunter question regarding creature native terrain for Terrain Dominance. It is simple for most monsters, but what about humanoids? Do Humans that lived most of their lives in the north count as native to cold terrain? Does it depend in the settlement size, when huge urban cities count as native urban terrain, and small villages count as cold? What about the norhtern-native centaurs subraces, that always live in the northern terrain, but are stated as temperate-climate creatures? I went for RAW bestiary native climate at first, but it gets dumb in the latter case.
4) How does Terrain Dominance work with Instant Enemy? I am specifically playing Forester Hunter with Horizon Walker levels, so I do not have the Favored Enemy class feature, but against creatures, natuve to my dominated terrain, I treat favored terrain as a favored enemy. Does that mean I can use Instant Enemy against creatures not native to the dominated terrain and use my dominated terrain against them? Do I count as having Favored enemy (cold)?
