Cold Domain

Clerics with the Cold domain tap into the power of the
polar wastes to freeze foes in place, build structures of
ice, and summon blizzards that extinguish light and life.
At best, clerics of Cold deities are taciturn and unfeeling
priests who demand respect for their grim gods; at
worst, they are madmen bent on invoking endless winter
over all the world.

**Cold Domain Spells**

Cleric level Spells

1st fog cloud, shivering cold

3rd gust of wind, spike growth (cold terrain only)

5th ice claw, sleet storm

7th hallucinatory terrain (cold terrain only), ice storm

9th cone of cold, glacial bulwark

**Frostwalk (1st level):**
Ice, snow, and other cold-related
terrain is never considered diicult terrain for you,
because you have a preternatural sense of traction. Other
factors such as debris or vegetation might slow you
down, but ice and snow do not.

**Involuntary Shiver** **(1st level):** As a combat reaction,
you can force a living creature within 30 feet making
an attack against you to shiver with a sudden chill. he
attacker has tactical disadvantage on the attack you are
reacting to. You can use Involuntary Shiver a number of
times per day equal to your Wisdom modiier (minimum
of one).

**Ice Slick (2nd level):** You can use your Channel
Divinity feature to create ice within a 10-foot radius
centered on a point you designate within 60 feet. he ice
is slippery and counts as diicult terrain. he ice lasts as
long as ordinary ice would; depending on the adventure
site, that could be seconds to years.

**Bone-Chilling Cold (6th level)**: Your flesh and bones are perpetually chilled, granting you resistance to cold damage and tactical advantage on saving throws against ice effects. Once per day as a bonus action, you can transfer the Bone-Chilling Cold to an ally within 60 feet for 24 hours. During this time, you lose the benefits of this ability.

**Ice Strike (8th level):** You can infuse your weapon
with frigid cold. Once per turn when you hit a creature
with a weapon attack, you can deal an extra 1d8 cold
damage if you hit. When you reach 14th level, the extra
damage increases to 2d8 cold damage.

**Heart of Ice (17th level):** You are immune to cold
damage, and you have resistance to ire damage. Once
per day as a bonus action, you can create a protective
aura of deadly cold for 1 minute on either yourself or
an ally within 60 feet of you. While active, any creature
that hits the protected creature with a melee attack takes
2d8 cold damage, and must make a Constitution save or
suffer 1 level of exhaustion.

**SHIVERING COLD**

1st-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action

Components: V, S

Range: 60 feet

Duration: 1 round

You cause the temperature to plummet in a small area,
wracking creatures inside with uncontrollable shivers. The
area of effect is a 20-foot cube. Roll 6d10 to determine the
number of hit points affected by this spell. Creatures are
affected in order of their current hit points, beginning with
the creature with the lowest hit points in the area.
Each creature affected by your spell suffers the effects of
3 exhaustion levels. (These exhaustion levels do not stack
with any other exhaustion effects the creature may be
suffering.) Subtract the creature’s hit points from the total
affected by the spell, then move on to the creature with the
next lowest hit points. If a creature has more hit points than
the spell can affect, it isn’t affected.
At the end of each affected creature’s turn, it reduces
the exhaustion level caused by shivering cold by 1 (thus
creatures will usually be affected for 3 rounds).
Higher Levels: When you cast this spell with a higher-
level spell slot, add 2d10 to the effect for each spell slot
level above 1st level.

**ICE CLAW**

3rd-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Components: V, S

Range: 120 feet

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Choose a target space that you can see within range. A
gyre of blowing snow and ice forms in the target space and
condenses into a Medium-sized clawed hand of ice which
rakes at one creature in its space. The target must make a
Constitution save. On a failed save, the target takes 1d10
slashing damage and 4d6 cold damage, and is restrained
for the duration of the spell.
As an action, you can use the claw to freeze the restrained
target, who must make a Constitution save. It takes 4d6 cold
damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful
one. You can also use an action to release the claw’s
current target, move the claw to a different target space
within range, and attack a different creature.
A restrained target can break out of your ice claw by
making a Strength check against your save DC. If the check
succeeds, the target escapes and is no longer restrained.

 **GLACIAL BULWARK**

5th-level abjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Components: V, S

Range: 60 feet

Duration: 1 minute (see below)

You encase yourself or a willing ally in a rough-hewn block
of ice that protects the creature within—long enough for
a brief respite, at any rate. While within the ice, you are
restrained, but you can still cast spells, use gear, and do
anything else that’s reasonable for someone stuck in a
closet-like space. The ice itself provides total cover in both
directions, so it’ll be dificult for attacks to reach within the
ice, or for attacks to emerge from it.
The ice is transparent enough that the target can see what’s
going on nearby, and anyone nearby can see who’s within the
ice. Enemies can attack the ice directly; it is AC 5 and has 5 hp
per caster level; it’s immune to cold damage but vulnerable to
ire damage. The creature within the ice can end the spell early
by dealing 1 damage to the inside of the ice block, because it
has a crystalline structure that makes it brittle and easy to break
from the inside. If the ice is destroyed, the spell ends early.
