Frostbrand

Frostbrand, also seen as frost brand, weapons were designed to fight creatures with an affinity for fire.

In first and second edition they dealt extra damage to creatures that wielded the power of fire or lived in fiery environments. They had a fifty/fifty chance of extinguishing even magical flames within ten feet of the thrust blade. They emitted light as a torch in temperatures below 0°F (&minus;18°C). In addition, it provided all of the protections of a ring of fire resistance.

In third edition they did not have any bonuses versus fire natured creatures, but they did do extra cold damage on a successful hit, to which most fire creatures were vulnerable. They also constantly protected the wielder from some fire damage. Only nonmagical flames were extinguished by their presence, however they had a chance to dispel continuous magical fires, such as a wall of fire. They still shed light when it was below 0°F (&minus;18°C).
