Fire and Ice

At 1st level, you acquire the ability to create ice with one side of your body and fire with the other. You are able to use these abilities through your fire and ice points, which are determined by your level in this class. The number of points you have is tracked Fire/Ice points column of the Half-Cold Half-Hot table. You regain your maximum fire and ice points at the end of a long rest.

You use these points to fuel your various fire and ice abilities. You start knowing four such abilities Freezing Ground, Icy Touch, Burning Defense, and Heating Grasp.

Some of your fire and ice abilities require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effect. The saving throw DC equals 8 + your proficiency modifier + your dexterity modifier.

Freezing Ground

You can cover the ground in a layer of ice. As an action, you can spend 2 ice points to choose a point on the ground you can see within 60 feet. You cover an area of 10-foot square centered on the chosen point, turning it into difficult terrain.

When the ice appears, each creature standing in its area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. A creature that enters the area or ends its turn there must also succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.

The ice melts after 1 minute. Causing fire damage in the area reduces the duration of the ice in one round per dice of damage rolled.

Icy Touch

When you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your attacks to touch the creature, and spend 2 ice points to cause ice to crawl over the target's body, restraining its limbs. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or be restrained by the ice until the spell ends. A Large or larger creature has advantage on this saving throw. If the target succeeds on the save, the ice breaks.

While restrained by the ice, the target takes 1d6 cold damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature restrained by the ice or one that can touch a creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, the target is freed.

Burning Defense

As a bonus action, you expend 1 fire point and gain the following benefits. You cover half your body in fire and increase your AC by 2 for 5 minutes. You can dismiss this fire as a bonus action.

Heating Grasp

As a bonus action, you expend 1 fire point and heat up the weapon you are holding. Your next attack with that weapon deals an additional 1d4 fire damage.

Elemental Blast

At 1st level, you can directly manifest your quirk's destructive power. When you take the Attack action, you can forgo any of your attacks to make a ranged attack against a creature within 60 feet. On a hit, you cause 1d8 + your Dexterity modifier. The damage type is either cold or fire.

At 11th level, once per turn when you take the Attack action, you can make a single Elemental Blast attack without taking an action.

Climate Endurance

At 2nd level, your body is able to regulate itself to an extreme degree. You have advantage to the effects of extreme cold or extreme heat.

Temperature

At 3rd level, you chose a Temperature. Choose between Hot or Cold, both detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd and again at 9th, 13th, 15th, and 18th level.

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

At 5th level, when you take the attack action, you may attack twice instead of once.

Ice Surfing

At 7th level, you learn to surf along the ground using your ice. You may expend 3 ice points and a bonus action to double your movement speed for 1 round. In addition, any ground you move along becomes icy, similar to your freezing ground ability.

Hot and Cold Resistance

At 10th level, you become accustomed to the heat of flames and the chill of ice. You now have resistance to both cold and fire damage.

Fire Flight

At 14th level, you can propel yourself using your flames. You gain a flying speed equal to your movement speed. You must end your movement on the ground, or else you fall.

In addition, any flammable objects within 5 feet of you that aren’t being worn or carried are ignited when you are flying.

Flashfreeze Heatwave

At 17th level, you can supercool the air around you before rapidly reheating it to create a massive wave of pressure. As an action for 5 Ice Points and 5 Fire Points, every creature in a 60ft by 30ft line must succeed a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they take 5d10 force damage, are moved 15 feet away from you, and are knocked prone. On a success, they take half as much damage, are moved 5 feet away from you, and are not knocked prone.

As an action, for 3 fire points, you create a wall of flames with a width of up to 10 feet, a height of up to 120 feet, and a length of up to 120 feet. If a creature is in this range when it is created, they take 2d6 + your Dexterity modifier fire damage and are pushed to the opposite side of the wall that you are on. If a creature attempts to move through the wall, they must attempt a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take 2d6 fire damage and do not move through it. If they succeed, they take 2d6 fire damage and move through it.
