[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 1794313, member: 2012"] As someone else who has both Frost and Fur (love that book) and Frostburn, I can honestly say having both books is worthwhile. Heck, the real world cultural stuff in FnF makes that book worth its weight in gold. I'll likely use the official D&D weather and environmental rules from Frostburn, however. Plus, it has some nifty stuff that I haven't even had the chance to read yet. Love the Neanderthals Pc Race ntry, not as big on the Uldras though. The other Frostburn races aren't beyond the norm for a WotC book, but Frost and Fur makes up for this with its substantial look at subraces based on real world myth. (I'll probably use the Midgard Dwarf from Frostburn for my norse region on World of Kulan, however.) Biggest reason I bought Frostburn - the illustrated Monsters chapter. I mean, how can you go wrong with entries for the Branta, Glyptodon, Megaloceros, Smilodon, Wooly Mammoth, Zeuglodon, Ice Beast (template), White Pudding, Giant Raven, Yeti, and Yuki-On-Na. Frost and Fur also has some great frostfell creatures, if you will, and very little overlap with Frostburn. I only count the Megaloceros, Wooly Mammoth, and Vodyanoi as duplicates between the two books, not counting the arctic animals section from Frostburn. The best monster entries in Frost and Fur, IMO, are: all the animal and dire animal entries, Iron Bear, Linnorm Dragon, Ice Giant, Golem (Snowman), Kainkutho, Aleutian Mummy, Senmurv, Ice Treant, and the new Lycanthropes (templates). Anyway, just my take. KF72 [/QUOTE]
