Way of the Blizzard (5e Subclass)
Way of Frost
This Subclass is for monks, whom come from or reside within icy winter like environments. In a Distant Region of Ice and Snow, a Monastery exists to the furthest regions of the world, to the North poles, South Poles, or atop mountains, so large the air is thin, and the rocks are covered with heavy thick snow and ice. The Way of Frost in these monetarists are to adapt and master the very environment around you.

Beginning at 3rd Level, you learn to use your ki to freeze air around you. You can spend 1 ki point to generate the following effects.
- Frozen Ground: As an action, you can send a gust of frost air to a point within 60 feet, condensing the moisture in the air on that point. A portion of the ground freezes,generating the same effects of the grease spell, and the DC is equal to you ki save DC. You are not affected by the effects of this feature.
- Freezing Touch: You can chill something to the point of becoming frozen. As a bonus action, you can make a ranged spell attack against a creature you can see within 30 feet, using your Wisdom modifier as your spellcasting ability. If that target is a creature, it takes 1d8 cold damage per ki point spent. If it is an object, it becomes vulnerable to bludgeoning damage until the end of your next turn.
- Frost Armor: You freeze the air around your body, creating a armor of ice. For 1 minute, you gain immunity to cold damage, resistance to fire damage and a bonus of +2 to your AC.
