So it can use all the WotC stuff, and I can add in my own? That sounds ideal.

Any chance of digging up copies of the original Dark Sun box set(s)? Wikipedia Entry

I never said that... :p I said "some people" take that text to mean that... personally, I don't think that something you'd never read if you weren't interested in playing a Ranger qualifies as a rule... and it's not like ignoring it breaks anything. Fair enough. Though I would point out...

Some people take the text for the description of Off-hand, and the Ranger Two-Blade Fighting Style, to mean that you can't do what you're suggesting. The rule is implicit, not explicit. You can't use two weapons unless you have powers that say so, so I'd allow it. Discussed more in this thread.

DM can limit free actions.. meh...

Am I missing something? There's nothing in the OP's post other than the sig.

It requires a seperate superior weapon proficiency feat. It's a light blade, but not a dagger.

Right. Light blade only though... so low damage. It's all fairly well balanced. Mostly.

No at-will attacks, iirc.

His attack bonus should be +5 for the INT if it is still 20 (although it should be 21 at level 4, which is still +5), +2 for the 1/2 level, for +7, plus any implement bonus... and he really should have an implement at this level. What sort of Wiz did he make (i.e. Staff, Orb, Wand) ? His...

I haven't done the math, but don't weapon users also have access to expertise feats? Aren't weapon users ahead of the curve on damage output since they can use better weapons? Doesn't it work out then that Monks hit more often but do less damage?

Isn't an accurate implement only an additional +1?

Why not just have residuum, or actual components, in the treasure parcels?

I was just flipping through some old Dark Sun stuff... I can see them not allowing Divine power source classes. Somewhere someone posted that they are having "no Gnomes" as a sidebar, not a rule. I wonder if they'll use the racial restrictions on classes at all, or even mention them?

It's simply a matter of balance. As non-weapon attacks, this balances out the lack of weapon proficiencies.

Well then, I too look forward to someone putting them online. :)

D&D XP 2010: Dark Sun Characters According to the blog linked above, the weapon breaking rules are, in typical 4e (no penalties, only bonuses) style: Not bad. Some of the reasoning is mentioned in the blog linked below. WotC_RichBaker An easy grittier House Rule (not tested, just thinking...

oops

Well... once they got through 4e-ing the half-giants... they'd be miniaturized anyway. ;)

Really? This is the first time Goliaths have sounded at all interesting (other than mechanically) to me. I think they made the right choice by not creating another race that fills the same niche. Sprinkle in some Campaign specific racial feats... I'm looking forward to it!
