Winter Domain

• Save Proficiency: Agility

Winter Affinity 1

You can passively sense Winter and Summer effects within 1 km. Effects include weather, Servitors, and magic. For Winter and Summer effects, you can sense the distance and direction of the effect. For Winter effects, you can also sense the type of effect (i.e., weather, Servitors, or magic) and the degree of the effect (i.e., the size and intensity of the weather, the number of Servitors, or the Power of the magic).

You are immune to mundane levels of cold and will not suffer from Fatigue when exposed to extreme cold.

Items in your inventory will never decay, rot, mold, or spoil through natural means.

Winter Affinity 2

As an action, you can read the thoughts of people who are experiencing a Winter mood, such as depression, grief, or apathy. This effect lasts as long as you concentrate. You can only read the thoughts of one target at a time with this ability.

Winter Affinity 3

You gain resistance to Cold damage.

As a ritual with a 10-minute casting time, you enter a trance that allows you to sense Winter weather anywhere in your current Mortal Realm. While in this trance, you can scry on any location that you can sense with this ability, gaining all senses of the location as if you were physically present. While in this trance, you are considered Incapacitated and unaware of your surroundings.

Winter Affinity 4

As a ritual with a 10-minute casting time, you are able to commune with the Grand Design of Winter. You may ask five questions, which Winter will attempt to answer as accurately as possible. The answers will only be communicated in single-word responses. Once used, this ability recharges after a Long Rest.

Winter Affinity 5

You gain immunity to Cold damage.
