Domain of Cold

They Gods of Cold value patience and hard, enduring work ethic. Their followers are varied from the humble farmer stocking up the larder to make it through the winter; to the rugged deck mate bundling up sails while sheets of snow and frigid water threaten to freeze him solid. These followers have the fortitude to accomplish the toughest of tasks in the worst conditions and keep pushing forward. They push their bodies to the limit seeking to find their breaking point. They are rewarded when they find it, with newfound strength, and a new appreciation for the harshness of the cold. Along with this enduring work ethic, however, is their tendency to like to take things slowly. Often these followers are told they slow their friends and acquaintances down whether in decision making or in moments when quick action is of highest import.

Bonus Cantrip

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain the frostbite cantrip.    

Winter Ward

Also, at 1st level you can move across difficult terrain created by ice or snow without spending extra movement. Additionally, you may use an action to extend an aura of cold around you, freezing the ground. While the aura is active, you become resistant to cold damage, the ground within 10ft of you becomes difficult terrain for up to 4 creatures of your choice and your cold spells deal an extra 1d6 damage to creatures within this aura. The aura lasts for one minute. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. For 24 hours after using this ability you are no longer negatively impacted by the effects of cold climates.    

Channel Divinity: Frost Burn

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to summon unthinkable cold and unleash it upon your enemies. When you roll cold damage, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal maximum damage, instead of rolling.    

Chilled Blast

Starting at 6th level, when you deal, cold damage you may also reduce the targets speed by 10ft until the start of your next turn.    

Divine Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 cold damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.    

Improved Winter Ward

Starting at 17th level, you can withstand cold that would kill others and have improved your ability to radiate it. You are immune to cold damage if your Winter Ward is active. The range of your Winter Ward increases to 30 feet, affects any number of creatures of your choice within it, and your spells that deal, cold damage to targets within it deal an extra 2d6 cold damage. Additionally, creatures affected by your Winter Ward have disadvantage on Dexterity checks and saving throws if they are not resistant or immune to cold damage.
