Coldbrim Chill

Coldbrim Chill is a passive feature that chills the wearer's target whenever they apply a condition.

Description

Once per turn, any condition inflicted on a target, also applies 2 turns of  Encrusted with Frost.^{[See: Bugs]}

Condition: Encrusted with Frost

 Encrusted with Frost

Duration: 2 turns

• Affected entity has Disadvantage on Dexterity Saving throws.
• When there are 7 or more turns remaining, the entity must succeed a DC 12  Constitution saving throw or take 1d4Cold and become  Frozen. On a successful save, it only takes half damage. Afterward, the frost sloughs away.
• Removed by  Burning.

How to learn

Granted by the equipment:

• Coldbrim Hat

Notes

• Coldbrim Chill only affects a single target per turn.
• The wording of the description might be slightly confusing. Specifically, the fact that the Coldbrim Chill effect only applies once throughout the turn, meaning that an area of effect spell like  Hypnotic Pattern only applies to the first target hit and only once that turn, not to all targets.
  • Applying  Encrusted with Frost to a target is specifically excluded from conditions that trigger this passive.

Bugs

• Coldbrim Chill triggers under many circumstances even though it appears it should not, due to hidden technical conditions, such as when a ranged weapon attack misses, when  Sanctuary is cast near enemies, or when revealing an invisible enemy with  See Invisibility.
