Deep in the frozen wastes, some barbarians find their flesh infused with elemental cold. Others embrace ancestral spirits of icy winter. Empowered by the deepest chill, they can call forth unrelenting cold. They sheathe their bodies in an armor of ice and summon blizzards to hinder their foes.

Bitter Animus 

3rd-Level Frostborn Raider Feature 

Your bitter, frozen soul surfaces when you rage, sheathing your flesh in plates of ice and covering your fists with gauntlets that sprout jagged icicles. While you arent wearing armor, your AC equals 15 + your CON modifier. (DEX doesnt factor into your AC for this class feature.) 

In addition, your ice-covered fists act as spiked gauntlets that deal 1d8 + your STR modifier piercing damage. The spiked ice gauntlets are light weapons and allow you to use the Bash weapon option. They cannot be disarmed and instantly melt when you stop raging. 

Home in the Wild  

3rd-Level Frostborn Raider Feature 

You are skilled at surviving in wild places and enduring extreme climates. You gain proficiency in the Survival skill. If you already have proficiency, double your PB instead for WIS (Survival) checks.

One With the Storm 

7th-Level Frostborn Raider Feature 

You walk through winter storms without concern and have become inured to their fury. You are resistant to cold damage. Your speed isnt halved when you move through nonmagical or magical difficult terrain caused by ice or snow.

Summon the Rampant Snowstorm 

11th-Level Frostborn Raider Feature 

 While raging, you gain the following benefits: 

  • As a ranged weapon attack, you can fling icicles from your Bitter Animus ice gauntlets that deal 1d6 + your STR modifier + Rage Damage bonus piercing damage. A new icicle regrows immediately after you throw one.
  • While raging, you call upon the blizzard within to cast sleet storm as an action, requiring no material components. CON is your spellcasting ability for this spell. You can cast this spell once each time you use your Rage feature. You are immune to the effects of the spell, you dont need to concentrate to maintain it and cannot end it before its 1 minute duration elapses. 
  • Spell save DC = 8 + your PB + your CON modifier 

Raging Blizzard 

15th-Level Frostborn Raider Feature 

Melee and ranged attacks made with your Bitter Animus ice gauntlets now deal an additional 1d8 cold damage. On your turn, after you take an Attack action with your ice gauntlets, you can use a bonus action to make two additional attacks with your ice gauntlets instead of the one attack typically granted by two-weapon fighting.
