[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 1744477, member: 945"] I gotta side with Dark Psion here. It sounds like more WoTC crap to me. I mean, look at some of these: Now what about this is specific to cold regions, other than the lame-ass name? I can't help but think that WoTC uses splat books like this to dump worthless feats that didn't make the cut anywhere else. I've written a couple of d20 books myself, and when we're done, there's always all this stuff that just doesn't quite make the cut. Maybe there's no room, maybe it's just outside the topic at hand, for whatever reason. But, good writers never let that stuff go to waste, so they just recycle it, and put it somewhere else. Yep, whole bunches of [fire] type undead running around. WTF? I can't think of ANY, unless you get goofy and make an undead fire dragon. But then, isn't it just an undead dragon, and would lose the [fire] subtype? Hoo boy. And how many of these are truly original? Comets? Yea - [cold] based meteor swarm. Creating avalanches? Yea, that's gonna come in real andy. Blizzards? Don't we already have a spell for that? And I thought [i]wish[/i] could already drop icebergs on evil temples? I wonder how many of these new spells are just energy substituted spells from the PHB? Yea, I definitely WON't be getting this - and I'm playing a cold-based sorcerer currently!! [/QUOTE]
