Editing Neanderthal (section)

===3rd Edition===
[[File:Neanderthal frostburn.png|right|200px]]
Neanderthals didn't reappear until the 3rd edition splatbook ''Frostburn''. This version of D&D Neanderthal isn't really anything special. Pretty bog-standard "winterlands-dwelling Noble Savage unfortunate primitives" fluff. Big, strong, savage but loyal human-offshoots: what more is there to say, really? Particularly when you take into account the...quality... of other races from similar environmental splats (see: [[Darfellan]], [[Asherati]]).
