[[File:GenericIcon DamageType Cold.png|alt=Cold Damage Icon|right|frameless|144x144px]]

{{DamageType|Cold}} damage is an elemental [[Damage Types|Damage Type]] available in Baldur's Gate 3. {{DamageType|Cold}} damage ~~is available through select Spells and Items. Targets in Baldur's Gate 3 may have Vulnerabilities, Resistances, and Immunities~~ to ~~certain Damage Types that affect how much~~ damage ~~they receive from such sources~~.

{{DamageType|Cold}} damage is an elemental [[Damage Types|Damage Type]] available in Baldur's Gate 3. Representative of the aspects of chill, ice, and water{{DamageType|Cold}} damage often serves as a counter to {{DamageType|Fire}} damage. {{DamageType|Cold}} has a strong association with conditions and effects that reduce Targets ground movement speed making it very useful for manipulating the environment of a battlefield and impeding melee attackers.

{{DamageType|Cold}} ~~damage~~ has an association with conditions and effects that ~~interfere with~~ ground movement~~, particularly Ice Surfaces, that makes~~ it ~~valuable to disrupt moving Targets. The conditions~~ and ~~effects of {{DamageType|Cold}} damage often run counter to those related to {{DamageType|Fire}} damage~~.

*Given the extensive support for Ice Surfaces, and in turn Water Surfaces, both they and aspects interacting with them will be treated as factors of Cold Damage for this page.

Target becomes Vulnerable to {{DamageType|Cold}} and {{DamageType|Lightning}} damage for the duration.

This condition also washes away blood and grime that appears on the player character.

~~[Review for revision]~~

Occurring naturally across Baldur's Gate 3, and created through distinct spells and items, Surfaces are unique area conditions that impact Targets standing within or upon them. Depending on the Surface Targets can face immediate detrimental effects like taking damage, conditions, reduced movement speed, and more. Surfaces can be quickly created in combat to ensure they afflict Targets, or in situations prepared ahead of time to allow players control over the battle ahead.

~~===[[Ice Surface]]===~~

Ice Surface are the signature Surface of {{DamageType|Cold}} damage being directly created by many {{DamageType|Cold}} spells with area effects. Ice Surfaces can also be created by Blood and Water Surfaces when they, or a target standing in them, are hit by a {{DamageType|Cold}} damage or another Ice Surface is created that connects to them.

~~Ice Surfaces cause Targets to make Dexterity Saving Throws to avoid becoming [[Prone (Condition)|Prone]]. Prone targets are more open to attack and attacks made within melee range role with Advantage.~~

~~===[[Steam Cloud]]===~~

Steam Cloud is a valuable Surface to inflict the Wet Status on Targets making it highly useful when dealing {{DamageType|Cold}} damage. Steam Clouds can be created by igniting Water Surfaces with {{DamageType|Fire}} damage. Water Surfaces naturally form from Ice Surfaces that melt after 2 Rounds or after being hit by {{DamageType|Fire}} damage.
