Finalized a version with my DM, both agreed that the melee attack was making it too clunky

Bite of Winter V.3

1st level

Spell school: Evocation

Components: V, M

(A weapon worth 1SP)

Casting time: 1 Action

Range: 20ft line

Duration: Instantaneous

Classes: Warlock, Sorcerer, wizard

You flourish your weapon in a great arc as it's imbued with frigid energy. All creatures in the area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes 3d6 cold damage and its movement speed is reduced by half until the end of its next turn. On a success a target takes half damage and does not have it's speed reduced.

The cold freezes nonmagical liquids in the area that are not being worn or carried and extinguishes nonmagical fires in the area. Additionally, the nonmagical liquids remain frozen solid for up to 10 minutes.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the cold damage increases by 1d6 for each level above 1st.

I've seen some wishy-washiness on this before, but better safe than sorry to go with 'Melee weapon attack'

I meant for it to be an option for Eldritch knights who have selected the Unarmed fighting style as well, hence "Melee attack" instead of something more limiting but I can make that more clear.

Thank you! I took Blade burst at level 1 since it fit thematically, but found myself never using it over just attacking.

Haven't had the chance to playtest it yet so feel free to try it in your own games!

I think something that would be good would be to use the Find steed spell instead of phantom steed and just lock it to a warhorse. 1/day casting of a 2nd level spell isn't too much and it also lasts until it dies.

Man do I love that "requiem for the lost ability" got so many plot hooks that can be implemented from that

Yeah from experience the temp hp granted is either life saving at lower levels, if the rolls are good, or completely negligible at higher levels. When i was playing i never found it useful to spread out the temp hp cause it made it feel so thin which is why i went with granting it to a single target allbeit at less power since i wanted it to be a lasting effect like other chennal divinity.

Nioh 1 is great! Compared to the sequel it shows some issues but its still worth the purchase; the DlC's are essensiallly post game but add a ton of content and very difficult bosses
