Circle of Frost

Adapted from Yapptor

Druids within the Circle of Frost harness the powers often affiliated with Winter: the cold, ice, and dormancy. These Druids are known to harry their foes with the cold powers of nature, to help animals prepare for the Winter, and to guide those who should not otherwise be active during cold times.

Anathema of Frost

The following acts are considered anathema for you, in addition to those detailed in the Druid’s Anathema feature.

Bonus Cantrip

3rd-level Circle of Frost feature
You gain the Frostbite, Ray of Frost, or Shape Water cantrip, and it doesn't count against the number of Druid cantrips you can know.

Snowblind

3rd-level Circle of Frost feature
You can create a shield of sleet and ice between two opposing creatures. When you or an Ally is attacked by a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see, as a Reaction, you impose Disadvantage on the Attack Roll, as the attacker must contend with a burst of snow and hail. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You can otherwise regain an expended use of this feature by expending a use of Wild Shape, no action required.

You gain a defensive coat of ice that provides you protection. You gain Resistance to Cold damage. Additionally, if you are not wearing armor or are Wild Shaped, your AC cannot be less than 16.

Cold Snap

10th-level Circle of Frost feature
Your cold spells can snap a creature frozen. Any spell you cast that deals Cold damage has its Attack Roll or Saving Throw DC increased by 1.
If a creature is dealt Cold damage from one of your spells and your Attack Roll exceeded its AC by 4 or more, or the Saving Throw it made failed by 4 or more, you can attempt to freeze the creature. Roll a d6; on a 2 or higher, the creature is Slowed until the start of your next turn. On a 1, the creature is instead frozen solid and is considered Paralyzed for the duration. A creature cannot be frozen this way if it has Resistance or Immunity to Cold damage, and is instead Slowed.
