Instant Snow Fort
Other 

This Xanta Industries product is especially popular with adolescents aged 13-19. Use with adult supervision only.

As an action, you can place this contraption on the ground and instantly deploy a snow fort. The contraption creates a fort in a 15-foot square, consisting of four snow walls. Each wall is 15 feet long, 10 feet high, and 1 foot thick, and are objects that can be destroyed. Each 5-foot section of wall has AC 12, 30 hit points, and vulnerability to fire damage. When a section of wall is reduced to 0 hit points by any damage type that isn't fire, it leaves behind a 6-inch pile of snow. The fort lasts for 1 minute, after which any walls that have not been destroyed melts into a puddle of water. When you create this snow fort, you can omit any of the walls. 

The fort's walls grant targets behind the wall three-quarters cover, and has 6-inch wide arrowslits to shoot ammunition through. Inside the fort, the contraption also provides 4d8+4 fist-sized snowballs. Each snowball is a simple ranged weapon with the Thrown property (range 30/90), and deals 1d4 nonlethal cold damage on a hit. When the snow fort melts, any remaining snowballs also melt. 

Once used, this contraption cannot be used again until it recharges at dawn and is replenished with 5 gallons of water.
