Primal Ferocity – On the turn after they’re wounded a Jötun can make a single attack roll at all targets in close range, doing Weapon Effort +2 to any that are hit
- Wind Born – the Jötun can assume the form of a bird in order to flee or spy on enemies
- Mountain Born – it grows to double normal size once per day only, heals all damage already taken and gains an extra Heart of hit points. Weapon damage now rolled on d8 (+adds)
- Eart Shaker- A powerful stomp shakes the earth around them – all human sized or smaller foes within Near range must make a Dex check or fall. Cannot be used again for another 1d6 turns.
- Stone Skinned – Reduce any damage taken by 3 points
- Baleful Eye – By fixing a distended eye on a foe and challenging them specifically the Jötun makes all its attacks against that Foe as though Easy. The Jötun will not attack any other foe however until that one is dealt with.
- Cunning Guise- the Jötun can assume a pleasing human form in order to pass among humans – though they always have one inhuman feature (and will generally try to conceal it)
- Flyting Tongue – The Jötun speaks insults against a specific target so foul and unbearably shameful that the target must make a CHARISMA roll or either flee the scene in disgrace or charge directly and without heed of other danger to attack the Jötun
- Swift Stepper – As its only action that round the Jötun can vanish and then reappear anywhere within its original line of sight regardless of obstacles.
+3 to any rolls for physical prowess – combat, climbing, digging, posing about the place
+2 to any rolls relating to cunning action or resisting manipulation or deception
Two Hearts of hit points

Gambler & Oathmaker
He will cheat and swindle anyone he meets, often suggesting a wager that he will then rig in his favour. If anyone tries to default on their payment (regardless of how unfair the contest proved to be) they must make a HARD Charisma roll or Farmathr’s curse falls upon them and they gain a Bad Name – all Charisma checks from then on are automatically HARD. The curse will lift only with Farmathr’s death or if he can be tricked into wagering the lifting of the curse… and then loses the wager.
Cunning Guise
Farmathr can change into a human form, his favourite is a weather beaten traveler, at will. The only thing he can never disguise is that he has a snarling mouth in his belly that he keeps concealed under his shirt. He can only ingest food and drink through his belly mouth, and though he can pretend to eat and drink normally he has to vomit up food taken in through his face-hole. The mouth in his belly tends to mutter and curse darkly when hungry or when Farmathr is angry, and anyone within CLOSE distance may be given a hard perception roll to hear the mumbled obscenities. Farmathr will try to pass them off as indigestion.
Six Rotten Eggs
Among the goods in his cart, Farmathr carries a wooden box filled with straw and containing six large eggs. He never displays or tries to sell these, as these eggs are his six brothers transformed by Farmathr’s magic. When he needs to go to battle he will break the eggs and each will become a fully armed and equipped Jötun. Use the normal attributes as above, though one of the six will have the ability to use the Mountain Born power once only – being cooped up inside the eggshell has given him a desire to stretch! If anyone cooks and eats all six eggs they need to make a HARD Constition roll to keep the foul mess down but they will gain +1 Strength permanently and make a fierce enemy of Farmathr.
