[QUOTE="schporto, post: 1803758, member: 5967"] Well I'm gonna throw a couple of cents into the fire too. 1. Frost Giants learn spells of type cold because they want to cover the entire world in cold. Yes it would make sense that the cold intelligent creature would learn some spells of fire just to be on the safe side, but that doesn't help him achieve his goals of coating the entire world in cold. (BTW you can substitute good, evil, lawful, chaotic, fire, etc for cold/frost above.) 2. In most human cultures carrying/selling/using human-harming poison is generally taboo. Necromancy is usually frowned upon as being the bane of life and a general not nice thing to do. Why? Well there's some reasons, but trying to ferret out why taboos exist is difficult anthropological work and out of my leaugue. In a similar way, I would think, the cold creature's society will frown on something that is of fire. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just might be part of the underground. Also to me (and this is definately NOT in the rules) a fire outsider would suffer a negative level from wielding a cold weapon similar to a good creature wielding a unholy weapon. This wouldn't apply to giants and it is just a house rule for my game. -cpd [/QUOTE]
