Frost Domain adds a cold-themed Cleric subclass for Baldur's Gate 3 with martial weapons, heavy armor, domain spells like Ice Storm and Cone of Cold, and features such as Glacial Ward and Arctic Tempest.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 131 endorsements and 8,522 downloads show the community trusts this subclass.
- Comes with full level 1-20 progression after the 2.0 update.
- Domain spells and Channel Divinity options give you both defense (Glacial Ward) and offense (Arctic Tempest).
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Unlock Level Curve mod to use levels 13-20, adding extra setup.
- Cold-focused kit may struggle against enemies immune to cold since Heart of the Everfrost only bypasses resistance, not immunity.
- As a custom subclass, it might conflict with other mods that alter Cleric domains or spell lists.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want a frost-themed cleric with tanky armor and battlefield control. Great for players who enjoy cold damage builds or want a divine caster with martial weapons. Skip if you prefer vanilla subclasses or don't want to install Unlock Level Curve for the full experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use BG3 Mod Manager to activate the .pak file; the subclass appears during character creation as a Cleric domain.
- If you want level 13-20 content, install Unlock Level Curve first and load it before Frost Domain.
- Prioritize Wisdom on your Cleric to boost Glacial Ward absorption and Arctic Tempest damage.
