Warrior of Frost

A branch of the elemental monastic tradition where Instead of training themselves in the use of multiple elements. They choose to shift their focus to the mastery of one individual element. Sacrificing the versatility of multiple elements for increased potency and control over the selective element of their choosing. Warriors of Frost focus more on defensive applications of their practiced element. Coating themselves in impenetrable layers of frost while effortlessly manifesting frozen tools and structures at will to seamlessly control the flow of battle in their favor. These monks can typically be found in colder climates such as mountain tops or snowy plains, practicing their abilities and perfecting their techniques. Warriors of Frost tend to have a cold and calculating personality, moving swiftly yet methodically with a sense of purpose.

Ice Manipulation

You gain the ability to create and manipulate an area of ice and snow from a point you can touch. You can manipulate it in one of the following ways:

Shape Ice. As an action, you create or alter the shape of ice or snow within your reach. As an action you can magically manipulate it into any form or shape you want, as long as it is no larger than a 15 ft cube.

Freezing Touch. When you take the Attack action, you can spend 1 Focus Point to replace one of your attacks to encase a foe in ice of your making. Make a melee spell attack using your Wisdom modifier. On a hit the target takes cold damage equal to one roll of your martial arts die and becomes Restrained in the ice. The target can use its action to attempt to break free, making a Strength check against your save DC. Additionally, any source of damage besides Psychic that would target the Restrained creature targets the ice instead. Counting the ice as a 5-foot-square.

Any ice you create counts as difficult terrain for anyone other than you and begins to dissipate after 10 minutes, fully disappearing 1 hour after its creation. Each 5-foot-square of ice has an AC of 5 and 15 hit points and is vulnerable to Fire damage and immune to Poison and Psychic damage.
