Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Thunderwave — It's your Thunderwave — a 1st-level wave that bursts out from you on a Con save for half, except it's a cold cone dealing 2d6 and applies slowed levels instead of thunder damage and a 10-foot push. ✨
15-foot cone Con save: 2d6 cold damage and 1 slowed level on a fail; more slowed levels at higher slots.

A wave of cold energy spreads out from you. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 cold damage and gains 1 slowed level until the end of its next turn. On a success, it takes half as much damage, and suffers no additional effect.
Overcharge Tech. When you cast this power using a tech slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st. At 3rd level or above, a creature gains 2 slowed levels on a failed save. At 5th level or above, a creature gains 3 slowed levels on a failed save. At 7th level or above, a creature gains 4 slowed levels on a failed save.
