A couple of quick questions regarding the breath weapon of the Khala form Bestiary 5.

It states the secondary affect of being hit by the breath weapon is that the PC is encased in ice and gives stats for said PC to break out via either STR check or Escape Artist.

Questions:
1) Would the encased PC be subject to the holding breath/suffocation rules?

2) Would they continue to take cold damage while encased?

3) How thick is the ice covering? How many hit points would it have if someone wanted to hit it to try and break the PC out?


1. Eventually, I guess, but the encasement isn't stated to be skintight, so there's likely to be air for at least the duration of the average combat.

2. Not from the breath weapon itself, but being encased in ice would eventually trigger cold damage from being in a cold environment.

3. It doesn't say. The closest analogue I can think of is icy prison at caster level 10, which would be 10 inches thick and 30 hit points. It's not an exact match, but close enough that I'd use it as a basis.
