==Actions==

Actions are the primary interaction options players can make in Baldur's Gate 3. Everything from weapon attacks, casting spells, crouching to hide, or throwing enemies headfirst at their allies are potential actions that can be made during one's turn. Selecting your actions is important to determine how you handle the immediate situation, and even set up conditions to benefit yourself later. Many of these actions are poised to directly inflict {{DamageType|Cold}} damage; or impact the environment, nature of your attacks, and conditions your Targets will face.
Below are tables listing the known actions that inflict and/or impact the {{DamageType|Cold}} damage players can deal, their base {{DamageType|Cold}} damage, and {{DamageType|Cold}} modifiers and effects.

| colspan="7" |[[File:Spell Slot Icon.png|alt=Spell Slot Icon|left|frameless|25x25px]]Spells serve as a core aspect for combat, exploration, and interaction in Baldur's Gate 3. Spells offer the ability to easily switch between damage types (i.e. {{DamageType|Cold}}), and attacks/effects against Targets from a distance and in various ways. Except cantrips, out of combat Ritual spells, or spells achieved through [[Scrolls|Spell Scrolls]] all spells will consume the Spell Slot resource.
All classes can make use of spells, by them being a core aspect of their class (or subclass) combat, or by utilizing Spell Scrolls to achieve the result. This makes it extremely valuable, and potentially easy, to prepare companions ahead of time to cooperate their abilities and spells towards common goals.

===[[Ice Surface]]===
{{NavGameplay}}
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.
 
[Review for revision]
 
===[[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.
