Looking for a cool level 1 ice damage spell...

[Darklone]

... I am not concerned about from which book it is. As a bonus: If possible shouldn't be too dependant on ranged touch attacks.

Any ideas? Please with a short description.

Only thing I'm really seeing at 1st level in the Spell Compendium is Ice Gauntlet, which is a first level Cleric spell.

However, there is an easier solution, although you likely can't use it til level 3, due to skill rank requirements. At first level, pick up the metamagic feat of your choice. At 3rd, pick up Energy Substitution (cold). Now, any spell you want to cast can be an ice spell!

Ray of Frost? USeful with Sneak Attack.

Change the name of shocking grasp or burning hands to something like, frost touch or frigid hands. Change the damage from the original energy type to cold. Voila!

Hmm, guess I have to dig in my cellar for one of the Diablo RPG spells ...

 

[Goolpsy]

Well.. there's the cold orbs... or creeping cold from Tome and Blood/ complete arcane is think there should be an "Ice Knife" too..

Btw! The feat Energy substitution Ice(cold whatevs.) would make any energy spell fulfill your request

Ice dagger from the Spell Compendium fits the bill... could someone post a little bit info about that one? Has it a ranged touch attack?

Edit: Funny... the player whose PC wanted the spell has the book

Thanks everyone!

You could always petition the DM to make Chill Touch a cold/frost based effect rather than necromantic/negative energy type.

Ice Dagger
Sor/Wiz 1, VSM, 1 std. action, close range, no save, SR yes
"The dagger created by this spell launches itself at a target. Treat the attack as a thrown splash weapon (PHB 158) that requires a ranged touch attack to hit. The ice dagger deals 1d4 points of cold damage to the target per caster level (maximum 5d4), and splash damage of 1 point of cold damage to adjacent creatures."
Component: a few drops of water from melted ice.

Edit: I had everything right except the spell name. Its Ice Dagger, not Ice Knife.

That's Ice Dagger. Ice Knife is a Wis 2 spell, also from spell compendium that does 2d8 points of damage and 2 points of dex damage

Wasn't that Ice Knife in Oriental Adventures?

Looks like Ice Dagger is stronger than Ice knife... yet the range of Ice Knife was IIRC much longer, right?
