# Frost Domain - 5E Cleric Subclass Homebrew

### by Nines, V1.2

## Cold Fury

Clerics of the Frost Domain are masters of battlefield control, capable of freezing entire armies in their tracks. With their great durability and powerful restraining abilities, few dare to approach these unassailable bastions of the north.

## Subclass Features

### Domain Spells

At 1st level, you gain access to the domain spells listed below. You also learn the *ray of frost* and *shape water* cantrips. Once you gain a domain spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If you have a domain spell that doesn't appear on the cleric spell list, the spell is nonetheless a cleric spell for you.

| Cleric Level  | Spells |
|:---:|:----|
| 1st | *armor of agathys, sleep, shape water, ray of frost* |
| 3rd | *gust of wind, hold person*  |
| 5th  | *sleet storm, slow* |
| 7th  | *hallucinatory terrain, ice storm* |
| 9th  | *cone of cold, hold monster* |
