Icewalkers
Wondrous item, common (socketable)
Component: pouch of Beast (glaciershark) claws
A set of trusty icewalkers won’t make bad falls hurt any less… but it can make it so that you’re not the only one hurting.
This item can be socketed on shoes, sabatons, or other footwear.
Cramp-on-Demand. As a bonus action while wearing the socketed footwear, you can cause spikes of ice to form on this item, or melt away. While the spikes are formed, the item works as a set of crampons.
Icicle Drop. If you fall on another creature while wearing the socketed footwear with the ice spikes formed, you can use your reaction to deal 1d6 piercing damage plus 1d6 cold damage to that creature, in addition to any other damage it takes from the impact. The spikes then shatter, and must be formed again using the Cramp-on-Demand property.

Falling on Another Creature
When a creature falls on another creature, use the following rule to determine how much damage each one takes. The creature being fallen on can make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw to attempt to avoid the collision. On a failed save, the damage from the fall is split evenly between the two creatures, and both are knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature being fallen on moves to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the space it’s occupying, and the falling creature takes damage and is knocked prone as normal. If the creature being fallen on is unaware of the falling creature, it automatically fails this saving throw.

Crampons
Adventuring gear
These spiked foot accessories give you extra traction in snow and ice, at the cost of a little bit of mobility. Crampons take 1 minute to attach to your footwear. Once attached, your walking speed is reduced by 5 feet but you do not suffer the effects of difficult terrain due to ice. When combined with a suitable hand tool like a war pick or ice axe, you gain a climbing speed of 20 feet on terrain made of ice.
