Frigid Heart

A heart never beating, skin an icy blue and cold to the touch and a soul numb to emotion, to be honest, a snowman looks more warm and welcoming than you ever will . You were born with a cold demeanor, the mysterious magic of the plane of ice itself surging throughout your body, allowing you to summon forth a bone-chilling armory that will leave the opposition frozen in fear. Maybe an ancestor originated from the elemental plane of ice itself, or perhaps your lineage was blessed/cursed by a deity of the cold, such as Thrym, Lord of the Frost Giants, Auril, The Frostmaiden, Bahamut, Lord of the North Wind or Ulutiu, The Eternal Sleeper.

Regardless of the source of your mind numbing abilities, one thing is for certain. Once you hone yourself, and master the magic you have been given, "The hells themselves will freeze over" will no longer be a mere expression.

 

Your connection the icy elements not only effects your magic, but your physical attributes as well. Choose from the following table, or roll 1d6 to see what kind of features your link to the cold manifests as.

 

Additional Spells

You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Frigid Spells table. Each spell counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.

Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The spell must be a evocation or conjuration spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.
