Pinecone of Cold

Description

Contained within these peculiar pinecones is a gas that creates a remarkable endothermic reaction once it touches snow, causing it to freeze immediately and encase the pinecone in ice. In this self-imposed stasis, the pinecone is protected from all other elements and scavenging animals, then is ready to take root as soon as the spring thaw comes. If you find one of these pinecones that have failed to detonate, you can trigger it with a small amount of force, causing it to become a bomb with a freezing payload.

Effect. As an action, you may throw this pinecone up to 20 feet, causing it to explode upon impact. All creatures within 5 feet of impact must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, suffering 4d6 cold damage on a failure or half that on a success.
