Fetor's Death frost spell


Shackled City Adventure Path


Soon my group is going to visit Karran-Kural and meet Fetor Abradius.
According to the HC, Fetor adds an additional 2d6 death frost damage to his magic missiles and lightning bolt spells. However, the desciption of the death frost spell explicitly says that it enhances necromancy spells and as an example ghoul touch is given.
So, he could enhance e.g. vampiric touch or chill touch, but not a fireball spell and the like!
Am I missing something?

I just checked the HC, and I agree that the Death Frost Feat only affects necromancy spells. I then checked the encounter with Fetor and saw that they used the word empower before magic missile and lightning bolt. I believe they are referring to this feat instead of the death frost feat.

Thanks for your reply. Indeed he has an empowered lightning bolt at 5th level, but in my HC, page 356 not an empowered magic missile. He does have a 2nd level death frost magic missile, a 4th level death frost lightning bolt, and at 5th level death frost enervation and empowered vampiric touch.

Funny that nobody noticed. Not that it makes much difference on the outcome of the battle, though.

Whoops. You are right. I was just reading the spells listed in the encounter (Page 217 K12). I failed to check his listing in the Appendix. Definitely problems with that.
