Defiling mechanics can also be built into a sorcerer bloodline. You might need to homebrew a LOT using Bard as basis to get there.ĭefilers and preservers should be just class feat options for arcane casters. 1e's psychic comes closest to it, but the class won't be coming for a while. I don't know how you can make a full psion within the current rules, though. I suggest you repurpose the Runescarred archetype from Lost Omens World Guide for psionics, replacing arcane with occult innate spells. Furthermore champions also depend on heavy armor, not exactly a common thing on Athas.Retooling clerics for templars is probably a good call. Athas is cut off from the Outer Planes, so Aligned magic wouldn't exist at all. As I recall Dark Sun is best if you leave out alignment altogether. Thrikreen can be based on Kasathas from Starfinder.Ĭhampions deal with a lot of alignment damage, which I'm assuming you won't be using in Dark Sun. In addition to those races, lizardfolk is coming in Lost Omens Character Guide, so they can easily stand in for Pterrans if you want. I am willing to use and attempt homebrew, although I have just finished the core rulebooks, having run plaguestone for another group. I was thinking of maybe doing something with occult spellcasting.Īnyway, if you could, I'd like to hear some thoughts on whether my idea would be feasible and how would you go about doing it. As option 'a' for clerics, wizards and sorcerers.Ĭ) use archetypes for templars, psionics, defilers and preservers.ĭ) go completely out of canon and make clerics that channel positive energy be preservers while those that do so with negative energy be defilers.įor psionics, I still have no idea. I am thinking of allowing barbarians, fighters, druids rogues, rangers, monks, bards and alchemists as printed.įor the other classes, I have a problem in that I need to figure what to do with defiling, preserving, psionics and templars.Ī) leave Champions out, retool clerics to worship sorcerer kings or the elements and homebrew defiling and preserving for the arcane classes.ī) retool alignment fluff from champions to turn them into templars. I am thinking of retolling half-orcs as half-giants.įor Mul, I would try to homebrew it as a Human heritage similarly to half elf. The problem here will be half-giants, Mul and Thri-Keen. I am thinking mostly of reflavoring, but may use some homebrew.Īncestries -> Vanilla Dark Sun utilizes humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, half-giants, half-elves, Mul and Thri-keen. The arc is 12 sessions, could be extended and is supposed to start in early October. I turn and spot the 2e CRB, Bestiary and Word Guide on the table and get this crazy idea of using it. They seem to be more interested in the setting's theme, rather than strict cannon. I do not think the players would enjoy PTBA. AD&D2e is just out of question (can't seem to get my head around its design). I have the option of running the game in 4th Edition or going berserk and attempting to do it in the Cypher System. The problem is: I have been a GM for 16 years, but never got to use the setting. Discussing a little more, the players have all expressed an interest in getting to know the Dark Sun setting. After much discussion, they have elected me to take over GMing. Our group is ending a two-year campaign of 5th edition D&D due to the DM going abroad for a couple of years.
