A.
"Glacial Burst: All creatures in a huge radius take 1dCHA cold damage, then roll a fortitude save VS DC 10 + 2*CHA or are entangled in ice for 3 + 1*CHA rounds."

This turn undead is a bit overpowered. Clerics who builds toward high CHA, it basically becomes a long-lasting huge radius AoE hold.

For example, if you buffed to 22 CHA, you'd get a 22 DC vs Fort AoE entangle that lasted 9 rounds. At 30 CHA (18 base, +2 from aspect, +6 from empowered eagles, +4 from aura of glory) that DC goes to 30, lasting for 13 rounds.

This is really powerful for both PVE and PVP. Its especially strong against dex-based characters. As well, at the moment I think its bugged and it only affects enemies not both enemies+allies.

Suggested changes:
1.
Lower duration of entangle to 3+1dCHA rounds instead of 3+1*CHA rounds.
Or
Lower DC to 10 + 1.5*CHA

2.
Make sure it affects both enemies and allies.

B.
"Winter's Triumph: Nearby allies in a colossal radius receive +2 cold damage and a cold shield of 1dCHA for 5 + 3*CHA rounds."

This is a god tier buff. AoE flame weapon + damage shield that has decent duration.

Suggested change:
Lower to +1 cold dmg from +2 cold to be on par with other turn undead domains.
