The Winter Domain Cleric is a frosty subclass created originally for use in one of Pop’s campaigns, The Quest for the Dragon Rings. It was designed as an OGL and SRD compliant subclass to replace the Death Domain that was used in the original story, where it actually fits better than the Death Domain considering the setting. The Winter Domain has two strong Channel Divinity options that scale with level. These are Winter Construct, which conjures an icy creature to shred the Cleric’s foes, or Snow Globe, which creates a hemisphere of snowy weather that can deal additional cold damage to enemies or shield allies. I am a big proponent of scaling abilities and use them in a lot of my subclasses.
The Winter Domain Cleric has additional spells that deal cold or necrotic damage or have wintery effects, and together with the Channel Divinity options make this subclass pretty potent and decidedly thematic.
