[QUOTE="Gez, post: 1801957, member: 1328"] You beat me to it! :lol: Honestly why would a frost giant use a frost weapon? Dude, because they are, like FROST giant and thus when they make magic weapons, the weapons are infused with their frostiness. Why would a dwarf use a dwarven waraxe and wear dwarven plate? Duh, because he's, like, totally a DWARF! Next time you'll ask why earth elementals speak Terran, while Undercommon would be much better for them. Or something like that. Likewise for spells. Why do frost giants spellcasters have a lot of cold-related spells? Why do white dragons and winter wolves breath cones of cold? Why do the Inuit have so much words of snow? And is that video-gamey? No it ain't. To the contrary. Video-gamey would be frost giants having random weapons, as likely to be shocking burst or flaming burst as it is to be frost burst or sound burst. Frost giants with frost weapons and frost spells is [i]classical[/i]. Why are red dragons immune to fire? I mean, that's stupid, that doesn't protect them from their most frequent enemies the silver dragons. Why do they breath fire? That's stupid, that doesn't let them harm their broodlings during the competition of the formative years. [/QUOTE]
