Welcome
Ice in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Ice
Hailing from bloodlines influenced by icy elemental beings or regions greatly influenced by cryomantic magic, Ice Genasi skin is often pale like fresh snow or lightly blue. If they have a human skin tone they often give off wisps of icy fog when not in freezing temperatures or leave bits of frost with every touch. Their hair can is can always be covered in frost and snow, resemble filaments of magical ice, or appear as though carved from the ice itself. Even a hale and healthy ice genasi is usually cold to the touch.
Most Ice Genasi can be found residing in the Frozen North or lands that border it. Legends tell of the Ice Genasi once having a mighty nation within endless winter that makes up the Frozen North however beyond its potential existence little is known about it, including what caused its downfall.
