Don't get me started on Salvatore, I'll jump in the boat and start rowing with you on that one. Right down the river to Offtopicville.

There's no Earthly way of knowing,
Where this silly topic's going...
But emotions must be growing,
Because the trollers keep on trolling,
And their certainly not showing,
Any sign that they are slowing...
Sorry, I just had a Wonka moment there...
The Auld Grump, hmmm, it's still snowing outside my window... does that count as being on topic?

I just asked myself, which one allows for a frost monstreme and things like that?
Hrm. That would be Frostburn.
Crossbow that fires iceciles? Cheesy yes. But totally pulp fun!
Crossbow bolts made of ice that has similar properties to iron? Frikkin rad.
As for Salvatore: I don't find the books to be in the same unbelievability range as frostburn. But then again I am not all that serious about my fantasy so, in that respect I am an easy cheap date.

I love Frostburn, haven't seen Frost & Fur or Wilds, and haven't had a chance to really get into my Sandstorm yet.

I wanted to hate the ice chucker crossbow, but when I actually read it -- something many of "Frostburn"'s critics did not do, I suspect -- it turns out that it's just a jumbo crossbow. It clearly states javelins work with it just fine.
A javelin-firing crossbow wouldn't attract much ire. WotC just tried to tie it into the Frostfell, instead of waiting for whatever the next book that weapons would work in would be.

A crossbow big enough to throw a javelin is called a ballista, it is already in the game as a siege engine. (Or a giant's heavy crossbow...) So it does not thrill me in that regard either...Whizbang Dustyboots said:
