Lament of Pure Ice, Variant (5e Class)

Work In Progress

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Draelm (talk) 01:37, 28 April 2025 (UTC) While less broken than the original, this still holds the same issues: Please compare this to the monk and barbarian classes. 1d12 HD, two common saving throws and 3 skill proficiencies are just the beginning. From then on, every single feature is exceedingly strong. This wouldn't be such a problem if there were only one or two of those, and they defined the identity of the class, but every single feature being this powerful is ridiculous. The subclasses are way over the top (for example: the stat boosts on the draconic subclass are way too strong, and becoming a fullcaster through a subclass is excessive). You can help D&D Wiki by better balancing the mechanics of this page. When the mechanics have been changed so that this template is no longer applicable please remove this template.

The Cold Claws of Death

At level 7 your cold is extreme for all living beings, anyone who gets in your way is doomed to feel the cold embrace of death. At this level when you are attacked by a creature whether the attack hit's or not you can spend 15 frost points as a reaction to cast chill touch on a creature, except that it deals cold damage instead of necrotic.

The Heart of Ice

At level 9 your cruelty and coldness are put on a par with the cold you emit, condemning your enemies to die under the weight of ice in a cruel and painless sentence, since what will truly be cold is your end.

When an individual affected by any saving throw that deals cold damage and fails it or suffers damage from a crit dealing ice damage once per round will gain 1 point of freezing giving the following states. The states will obviously stack.

• Chill: with 1 point the creature loses half of all types of their movement speed rounded up.

A creature can choose to take the dash action to stand up even if their movement speed is at zero

To remove the freezing points you have to avoid taking cold damage until the beginning of their next turn and succeeds on a constitution saving throw, removing one freezing point.

When a freezing point is removed a creature affected by it will instantaneously be removed of the effects from the point. In addition you gain resistance to cold damage.

You are the living representation of winter, and perhaps not everyone will appreciate you for your cruel and cold nature, but there is always a place you can call home. At level 17 any Beast, Fey, Elemental or Monstrosity that calls an icy place home or draws it's power from the ice is friendly to you unless the DM say's otherwise.

Wailing Swallowed by Ice

At level 18 you get the grand manifestation, the precise moment, the event where everything changes, where your power converges to its maximum potential that heads in the paths you chose: you can only have 1 depending on your subclass:

Helheim: You know that the moment where silence reigns is the time to light up the sky raising your weapons and surrounding yourself with burning flames you call to battle calling all the warriors you trained in the art of cryoflame. As an action and 100 frost points you send forth a mental message to anybody you have used your Frost Brotherhood feature on asking for help and in addition you call a Fire & Ice Mephit that has the statistics of an Ice Mephit and a Magma Mephit added together (yes even the ability scores but max them out at 18) with an HP of 120, that is friendly to you and lasts until you die or an 3 hours pass, after this you receive 4 points of exhaustion, if you attempt to summon it again before taking a long rest it works but you get the 4 points of exhaustion immediately instead of after, in this scenario the Fire & Ice Mephit doesn't disappear until three hours pass. If you die from exhaustion in this way you can't be revived by anything short of wish.

Breath of Desolation: With 180 frost points you compress your breath to make an empowered ray of white almost looking like a beam of light that will affect in a cone of 60 feet, all targets in range must make a constitution saving throw without advantage if they would have advantage, if they fail they suffer 10d10 cold damage and have the petrified condition for two rounds, if they succeed they instead take half damage and don't become petrified. You can only use this once per long rest.

Absolute Incarnation of the Titan God: Concentrating the power of the giants in you, you manifest one of the most powerful giants that have ever existed, whose legends tell that the world is made of his body, with his great hammer of ice that he will unleash to reforge everything: spending 150 frost points and an action you accumulate and form your storm to give it the appearance of a giant with a great hammer of ice that he drops on the ground in an area of ​​​​destruction of 60 feet everyone must roll a dexterity saving throw and if they would have advantage they don't or receive 5d12 bludgeoning damage + 5d12 cold damage and have the stunned condition for a round, if they succeed they instead take half damage. You can only use this once per long rest.

Cryotime Overload: You have touched the ancestral power of the first blizzard, the first cold, the first ice capable of freezing everything that exists, even time. You can only use this once per long rest.
By spending 180 frost points you can freeze everything similar to the time stop spell. During this time you can move and attack entities normally without breaking the affects of this ability. However if you exceed 100 damage the creature breaks free of the effects, though other creatures remain affected by this ability.
Entities with immunity to this or outside of time are also affected as you are freezing more than just time.
Due to the extreme energy charge, you will be unable to recover freezing points for three days.
You can't enter your Glacial Incarnation form for three days.

Frozen World

At level 20, reaching the pinnacle of your destiny, the decisions you have made will judge you over the years, but if there is one thing you are sure of, it is that if you got here it was because you overcame all your obstacles and you are worthy of a place where you are recognized as what you are, your power has connected with the source of the ice plane which allows you to create an ice age that covers 1 mile. Inside this area the cost of all your abilities is halved and you can manipulate Ice within it up to 500 feet away a bonus action. You choose how the area looks. You can create such an area after spending a week meditating in one place. The ice than expands outwards from where you meditate. If the DM allows everywhere within 19 miles is slowly affected by your Frozen World, turning colder and colder until eventually it to is frozen, except it is less extreme since it took time, instead it resembles a soft snow forest or whatever else the DM desires. Once such an area has been created you can not use this ability to make another unless the DM allows it.
