Frozen

Ice covers a creature's limbs, difficulting their movement.

A frozen creature's speed is reduced by half and cannot benefit from any bonus to its speed. They also gain disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws and reduce their AC by 2. A creature can attempt to break the layers of ice that are frezing them or another creature. To do so they must make an attack roll against the caster's DC, and if they succeed, the condition ends. A creature can also gain the frozen status naturally. Some examples are the following (duration may vary up to DM's discretion):
