One of my fall time favorite movies. And your summary of the events is in fact correct. Well done defending this masterpiece.

Why? I'm going to guess it's because WotC can't be bothered to research the setting to the level of detail that us fans would want.

They could have easily just taken an old set of FR novels and adapted it into a show. Icewind Dale Trilogy, Cleric Quintet, any of those would have worked.

I think if you went the subclass route, it would only be to amplify the path of magic that you're using. So a preserver subclass would tinker with your spells while preserving, and a defiler subclass would do the same while defiling. But you'd still want an underlying magic subsystem for...

I still get those same vibes from the PP novels to this day. That meta plot for me was so cool when I read it as a teen. And while the writing in those novels is relatively simple compared to what I read now, its still good. And as for formative modules, how can you forget Dragon's Crown? That...

Why? Give me examples please.

I disagree. They were first presented in Earth, Air, Fire and Water, but they made great anti-heroes compared to the elemental clerics. Kinda like Athas' version of the anti-paladin. I had at least players who really enjoyed playing them. Especially rain and silt clerics.

Unless they change that policy. I don't imagine it's difficult, just another option in the dropdown list enabled.

It's more the matter of scale for Dark Sun. One race enslaving a few hundred people versus a whole portion of the planet relying on mass slavery to run entire cities, or serve as annual sacrifices to a defiler dragon to power world shattering magic. I was more talking about having elemental and...

The point of preserving magic was that it didn't defile. Thereby preserving the plan life that already exists instead of killing it. Restoring plant life to athas was usually the domain of the druids. However, preservers did get specific spells that restored plant life as well. The fact that...

Then there's already a problem if you're looking through the UA. It appears that they're tying defiling to sorcerers as a subclass. This was never how arcane magic worked on Athas. Even the 4e Dark Sun books at least recognized that, albeit, implemented it in a rather unsatisfying way. Inferior...

I think if you rephrase your original point to "Dark Sun is anti-Tolkien D&D" then it comes across a bit clearer. Which vibes with your first point. And you are correct about the 4e Dark Sun books. There were only 2 innovations in the 4e Dark Sun rules beyond what the core 4e experience...

And yet it is.

Not in my books. If you thought Radiant Citadel was good, well, then I'll just agree to vehemently disagree.

Don't be juvenile. I'm speaking of things WotC has already spoken of in public statements, and is readily evident in their current products. No, that's not what I said at all. But I can see you're getting frustrated so maybe move along.
