Another installment in the 'environmental' series of D&D books, this covers wintertime adventuring as well as the more year-round conditions of arctic environments. It even covers extra-planar environments where cold is a key element of the setting from the frozen layers of the Nine Hells, to frigid layers of the abyss, to arctic environments on the Elemental Planes of Air and Water. It has new racial variants, new feats for dealing with cold, Prestige Classes that are cold-oriented, as well as new feats, equipment, and spells for all spell-casting classes, and new magic items. It also has a quite broad selection of monsters for these environments, from the Orc Snow Shaman, to the Snow Spider, Glacier Dwarf, Midgard Dwarf, and Frostfell Ghost, to name but a few. And it also contains two adventure sites, Delzomen's Iceforge (EL5) and Icerazer: The Iceberg City, and random encounter tables for snowy, cold, and arctic environments. Overall, it is very useful if your game involves these settings.Read full review
Good sourcebook. I like the first part of the book detailing the hazards of a Frostfell environment. New feats are a mixed bag, some interesting and usable others not so much. Spells are likewise. Monstaers of Frostfell: just having stats on the Smilodon, Woolly Mammoth and Dire Polar Bear make it worthwhile. Overall a useful book, if you are running a campaign in an arctic or semi arctic area.

Frostburn, like its cousin books Stormwrack and Sandstorm, is a great addition to any DM's library. It has extensive information on monsters, races, weapons, and hazards of the snowy reaches, both natural and supernatural. It is especially helpful if you intend to run campaigns either exclusively in tundra and glacial regions, or if you plan to venture into them often. Again, like Stormwrack and Sandstorm, very little of it is particularly applicable outside of the Frostfell, but it is a good buy even if you just want to have it on hand. Personally, I like frosty, mountainous regions, and I love having the improved encounter tables, in-depth hazards, and, of course, all the monsters.
D&D 3e supplement to go with Sandstorm. Great ideas in both!

One of the better supplements to 3.5 edition D&D. This one gives rules for arctic and alpine adventures. It's fairly well-rounded, including environments, modifications to player races, different planes, and the usual additional feats, monsters, and spells.
