        Winter's Embrace

        You learn two cold cantrips of your choice.  These count as Cleric cantrips for you and do not count against the number of cantrips you can learn.  In addition, at level 11 Otiluke's Freezing Sphere and  Wall of Ice are added to your list of available spells.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

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. The 2.0 update includes level 20 support when paired with Unlock Level Curve. It has 131 endorsements and 8,522 downloads, making it a popular choice for frost-focused divine casters.

✨ Key Features

Grants proficiency with Martial Weapons and Heavy Armor.
Adds domain spells including Armour of Agathys, Ice Knife, Sleet Storm, Ice Storm, Cone of Cold, and Hold Monster.
Winter's Embrace lets you learn two additional cold cantrips and adds Otiluke's Freezing Sphere and Wall of Ice at level 11.
Glacial Ward uses your reaction to absorb damage up to Level + Wisdom Modifier for you or an ally within 9m.
Channel Divinity: Freezing Smite forces a Constitution save or freezes the target in place.
Heart of the Everfrost makes cold damage overcome resistance and prevents falling prone on icy terrain.

📊 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.
🎯 Is This For You?
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.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 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.
