- A creature slipping on an ice surface attributes the source of Prone to the character that formed the ice surface. This will, for example, trigger Boots of Stormy Clamour.
- The Arrow of Ice uses a DC 12 save to avoid being Prone upon any creature in range of the initial hit. This is a different save from the DEX save of the ice surface left behind afterwards.
