'''Cold''' is one of the most common elemental forces you will encounter as you explore the [[Dungeon]], consisting of ice-themed and otherwise cool attacks.

==Cold Damage==
Characters have many ways to gain cold damage. [[Ice Magic]] is the most evident, but just about any character can use [[freezing]]-branded weapons or a [[wand of iceblast]].

Cold damage is reduced by cold resistance (rC+). [[Cold-blooded]] creatures, including player [[Draconian]]s, are [[slow]]ed by a few specific cold attacks: weapons of [[freezing]], [[Freeze]], [[Frozen Ramparts]], [[freezing vapour]]s, [[Ozocubu's Refrigeration]]. Having rC+ negates being cold-blooded.

==Cold Resistance==
The cold resistance intrinsic significantly reduces the cold damage you take when attacked:

{| class="wikitable"
! Resistance Level !! Damage Taken (Player) !! Damage Taken (Monster)
|-
| 1 || 50% || 50%
|-
| 2 || 33% || 20%
|-
| 3 || 20% || 0%
|}

You can acquire cold resistance from a number of sources:

'''Item'''
*[[Ring of protection from cold]] and [[ring of ice]]: rC+
*Armour of [[ego|cold resistance]]: rC+
*[[Gold dragon scales]]: rC+
*[[Ice dragon scales]]: rC++
*[[Staff of cold]]: rC+
*[[Potion of resistance]]: rC+, temporary
*[[Tiamat]]'s [[dragonskin cloak]] (50% chance per attack of rC+)
*[[Randart]]s: rC+ to rC+++

'''Character'''
*Being a white [[draconian]]: rC+
*[[Good mutations#Cold Resistance|Cold Resistance]] [[mutation]]: rC+/rank
*The third rank of the [[Good mutations#Shaggy Fur|Shaggy Fur]] mutation: rC+
*The third rank of the [[Good mutations#Icy Blue Scales|Icy Blue Scales]] mutation: rC+
*Being a [[ghoul]], [[mummy]], or bloodless [[vampire]]: rC+
*[[Necromutation]]: rC+
*[[Ice Form]]: rC+++

===Cold Vulnerability===
Cold vulnerability causes you to take x150% normal damage from most cold attacks, and x200% damage from freezing melee attacks. You can acquire it by:

*Wearing a [[fire dragon scales]] or [[ring of fire]]
*[[Dragon Form]] (except for non-red [[Draconian]]s)
*The Cold Vulnerability [[mutation]].
*Certain [[unrand]] artefacts:
**{{Unrandlink|Amulet of Elemental Vulnerability}}
**{{Unrandlink|Salamander hide armour}}
