This condition causes Targets to role with Disadvantage on Dexterity Saving Throws, and when there are more than 7 turns remaining of 'Encrusted with Frost' the Target has to make Constitution Saving Throws to avoid taking Cold Damage and becoming Frozen. This condition is useful to make targets more vulnerable to becoming Prone on Ice Surfaces.
