The simulacrum has an adverse reaction to the presence of flame and heat and will take an additional 1 point per die of damage from heat and flame attacks.
In general, it takes about 20 minutes to build a snowman but this time can be split between multiple people. The mage can build snowmen to animate at a later time. For example, if the mage and his team are camping for the night, the group might take some time to build a few snowmen to animate later in case of attack.
Note that snow must be present to build the snowmen. The material component is the snowman. |
