===FROST GIANT JARL===

A [[SRD:Frost Giant|frost giant]] leader is often a [[SRD:Barbarian|barbarian]], [[SRD:Cleric|cleric]], [[SRD:Fighter|fighter]], or [[SRD:Sorcerer|sorcerer]], but some of the most evil and ruthless frost [[SRD:Giant Type|giants]] become [[SRD:Blackguard|blackguards]].

The frost [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] jarl described here has all the qualities and abilities of a typical [[SRD:Frost Giant|frost giant]], as well as other abilities (see the statistics block) from being a [[SRD:Blackguard|blackguard]]. Details on some of these abilities follow.

'''Aura of Despair ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' This jarl radiates a malign aura that causes enemies within 10 feet of him to take a –2 penalty on all [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throws]].

'''Aura of Evil ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' This jarl radiates a strong aura of evil (see the ''[[SRD:Detect Evil|detect evil]]'' spell) as an 8th-level [[SRD:Cleric|cleric]] of an evil deity.

'''Command [[SRD:Undead Type|Undead]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' This jarl can [[SRD:Turn or Rebuke Undead|command and rebuke undead]] as a 6th-level [[SRD:Cleric|cleric]].  

'''Dark Blessing ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' This jarl applies his [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] modifier as a bonus on all [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throws]].

'''''Detect Good'' ([[SRD:Sp|Sp]]):''' At will, this jarl can use ''[[SRD:Detect Good|detect good]]'' as a [[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|spell-like ability]], duplicating the effect of the ''[[SRD:Detect Good|detect good]]'' spell.

'''[[SRD:Poison|Poison]] Use:''' [[SRD:Blackguard|Blackguards]] are skilled in the use of [[SRD:Poison|poison]] and never risk accidentally poisoning themselves when applying [[SRD:Poison|poison]] to a blade.

'''Smite Good ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Twice per day, this jarl may attempt to smite good with one normal [[SRD:Melee Attack|melee attack]]. He adds his +4 [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] modifier to his [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack roll]] and deals 8 points of extra damage (1 per blackguard level) if the attack hits. If he accidentally smites a creature that is not good, the smite has no effect but it is still used up for that day.
