What exactly do you think happens when a Barbarian takes the feats Blazing Berserka (Sandstorm 49) and Frozen Berserker (Frostburn 48)?

The ice is on fire and the Barbarian is immune to fire and cold damage (immunity trumps weaknesses, see also 0*1.5).

See also Frostburn's version of Mantle of the Icy Spirit (spc's has a duration) and Sandstorm's Mantle of the Fiery Spirit.

Indeed, don't forget to take Cobalt Rage from MoI to turn him Blue.

How often are you going to be in a campaign which uses Frostburn but nobody has Spell Compendium? You're required to use the updated spell if your campaign makes use of the newer book.

Bonus bonus point if he also use that obscure bersek PrC from dieties and demi-god which allow him to become part-eagle.

Ice-covered flaming bear with eagle wings is charging you, what do you do ?

Dip totemist too. Now you are winged flaming ice bear with tentacles.

Everything is better with totemist.

No you are not. There isn't some special force of secret police that comes around to make sure you use only the most up-to-date material. You don't have to use everything in a book - if the group wants to ignore the newer version of the spell, its free to do so.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!


The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don't need any rules.

Oh they're out there, they are just too busy trying to get people to update to 4e, and now trying to get them into 5e, to really go after a minor spell update violation.
