[QUOTE="Kirin'Tor, post: 1801930, member: 17624"] I really don't find that to be true: The most reasonable (rules-ready) arguement I've read here is that as COLD creatures, they (a) fear fire creatures, and would want to be well-protected against them (extra damage cold weapon v. fire creature) or (b) hate and war with fire creatures (extra damage cold weapon v. fire creature). that's rooted directly in the rules (the subtype rules, specifically) and really isn't far fetched. If I were going into a war against vampires, or was afraid of assault by vampires, I'd take the time to dip my wooden stakes in a mix of garlic-laden holy-water, if I actually thought\knew it would hurt 'em more... Are you really looking for a reason, or simply wanting to point out that you think the designers did a poor\lazy job? Many reasonable explanations (even if not rules-ready, they're flavor ready, so to speak) have been given (cold is abundant, it's easier to forge due to subtype, etc) and at least one rules-ready reasonable (above) explanation given, and you seem to just shoot them down\dismiss them... There's nothing wrong with wanting to criticize if you think they did poor, but I think if any idea anyone gives for why Frost Giants use Frost weapons will be shot down or dismised, then there's no need in posting 'em.
