[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 4833905, member: 3867"] Sigworthy! LOL! The basic assumption could be that player characters are always preservers, thereby allowing defilers to be statted up like monsters. However, this cuts out a cool story element. What you have to explain, though, is why a huge sun can be seen in Dark Sun and is burning this area of the world to a crisp, while the rest of the world doesn't see that. Just seems kinda convoluted to me. See, now this is a mark against Dark Sun as the setting. Materials don't just port in and out too easily. I can see moving some races to other worlds, such as what they did with the half-giant. I can also see porting the primitive weaponry of Dark Sun to other worlds. The problem comes with using mainstream D&D materials in Dark Sun. The setting as a whole has certain restrictions. Now, Dave Noonan did a pretty good job with Dark Sun in the pages of Dragon, which shows how new races can be ported in, such as what they did with the XPH races. [/QUOTE]
