Except the Sorcer Kings wouldn't want Dragonborn wandering around in public. If they're offcast experiments. Note the Dray were not in any main boxed set for DS as a playable race.

I don't think trying to fit the keyword onto Athas is a good idea. Goliaths as half giants us kinda moronic. Maybe NPC them replace with Genasi. They could be similar to Ogres.

I woukd use weakee dragons. CR around a third of the party level. Maybe half party level say by lvl 10.

I woukd enforce it in that situation. Theres various ways to abuse things still. I probably wont bother enforcing it on appropriate classes. Alot of spellcasters take warcaster anyway or dont need it.

Your mistake was choosing to play the artificer. They were bad in Tashas and have been power crept out. Mediocre damage, spells, combat ability, skills etc. At higher levels with enough magic items they become OK. Very DM dependent.

They used Dray as dragonborn. They’re different and came later in the product cycle. They shouldn't be available in classic era Darksun. At best another mutant race. The Dragon. Theres others but its very unknown. Like the Dray. If you're adding new things to the setting at least make sense...

Its basically veiled edition warring at this point. Started playing 1993. I've been hearing about how bad D&D is since 1994. Funny thing is no D&D I suspect your "better" game would be smaller and even more niche without it. You an at least pinch D&D players or meet new people via D&D.

The made stuff for higher level. Didn't sell. Whole product line CMI part of BECMI. B part sold like gangbusters. E part sold well then nope. Product exists its obscure these days. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/17165/d-d-companion-set-becmi-ed-basic They sold "fine". You can use...

No one gave a crap about Nerath. FR and Darksun they used the nuclear shoehorn approach.

Yeah arcane focus doesn't help with casting shield.

More the monster hunter part. Thematically its a ranger.

Point. I wouldn't give him lots of ranger level. Some levels.

Im leaning towards capped at 18 and used the old BECMI stats. Hell maybe 2d6 for reaction checks

Warcaster still doesn't fix the M part. Your two handed sword isnt an arcane focus. Are you enforcing the M part?

Ranger levels. I would put him in the level 12-15 range no lower than 8-10.

Theres ways around it with a hard ass DM. See my EK thread lol.

I allow it but as I said I think RAI the gish classes can cast while using weapons. If its not RAI the designers screwed up.

Aware. Is that RAW or that ancient tweet from one of the designers?

RAW yes

Alot of paladin spells are like that. Its hands-free that trips you up. Shield spell being obvious one.
