Verglas Oath

Tenets of the Verglas Oath

Fight. Your cause is what motivates you. Use it to harden the icy wall of which you use to protect.
Feel. The fire in you that burns bright in the cold should never falter, as it is what makes you who you are and what your cause will be.
Protect. Do not harm those who are not deserving. Seek never to warm your hands with the blood of the innocents.

Channel Conviction

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Conviction options.\

Manifest Soul. As an action, you can manifest the element of your soul around a weapon. A limb used for unarmed strikes is a viable option. For 1 minute, your weapon attacks and creations ignore any resistance to cold damage.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Touch of Winter. As an action, you can use your Channel Conviction to instantly freeze the surrounding area. The area within 60 feet of you becomes difficult terrain for creatures other than you as jagged ice spreads across it. If you touch a body of water, you instantly freeze the surface and as deep as 10 feet of the water. Any creature occupying this space is pushed to nearest unfrozen square. The ice remains for 1 minute until it thaws or until you end the effect.
