[QUOTE="Panthanas, post: 6635019, member: 10256"] I thank you for the compliments. I put more time into this than I should have. It was almost like a job.... I posted the pdf so people could keep it. Again, much of what is in there is from other sources, but I wanted to re-work some areas. Feel free to share, re-write, change, fix any of it. I did try to give credit for all the material I used. Ah, you're correct...they removed specialist mages in the Revised Set. I used the Revised Boxed Set when I ran my game in the 90s, so that must be why I recall no specialist. Hmmm...I do like the thought that magic is so restricted that there are no specialists, and I think I'll keep it that way for when I run Princes of the Apocalypse, but I can see why others would want specialists. For that you could include the wizard schools, keep the Wizard Feature: Arcane Defiling, throw out the Defiler and Preserver Paths I have in this pdf, and maybe throw in some Feats for enhanced defiling or preserving. As for Pterrans as a race, I was working with what I already found for a 5E conversion. Also, I was a bit under the gun to put something together. My group has been playing in another 5E campaign that another member of the group is running (we often switch between campaigns I run and the other group member runs, generally based on level of DM burnout and time constraints). Anyway, I picked up Princes of the Apocalypse intending to run it for my 2 sons and saw it had a conversion for DS, and mentioned it to the group. A few of my current group were participants in the DS game I ran in the 90s, and they suggested I run Princes nn Dark Sun. I said I would have to convert some stuff, and they were all gung ho to play, so I was trying to convert quickly. For scheduling reasons, now we won't be playing until mid July though. Whew! To wrap up this exceedingly long reason why I don't currently have Pterrans, no one was interested in playing one, so I just didn't bother to convert them. Now that I have a bit more time, I may go ahead and do so. I really like your ideas for some sub-races, and backgrounds. There are good sources to make that happen. I guess my limiting factor is the amount of time I have to put something like that together. [/QUOTE]
