Actions
Greataxe Melee Weapon Attack
+6 to-hit, reach 5', one target. Hit: 1d12+4 slashing damage

Bonus Actions
Freezing Wind Ranged Spell Attack
Arctoris targets a creature within 60'. They must make a DC 13 Strength saving throw or become Restrained until the end of his next turn.

Bolstering Chill
Arctoris summons the frozen air around him into a ward. His AC increases by 3 until the start of his next turn, and if he is below half HP, he may spend a hit die, regaining HP equal to the number rolled plus his Constitution modifier (1d8+3, in most cases).

Offensive Challenge Rating: 2
+6 to hit and 10 average damage put Arctoris solidly in the CR 2 range. Freezing Wind might bump this up by 1, but it competes with his BA with Bolstering Chill.

Defensive Challenge Rating: 2
Bolstering Chill being used at least once shifts his base defensive CR up to 1/2. His AC moves it up to 2. Bolstering Chill's AC bonus would bump it up to CR 3.

Overall: Low 3
The BA usage increases either the Offensive or Defensive CR by 1 and the flexibility to choose which is better in the moment is handy.

I enjoy seeing the Athletics proficiency. It's a small detail, but it gives your monsters more options when they can disregard their weapons and try to shove someone off a cliff.
