Reincarnate is only accessible within 10 days. Same with Raise Dead.Druids have the Reincarnation spell, so the concept exists within the Dark Sun worldview. The spell guides the future incarnation. But reincarnation can just as easily happen naturally.
Probably all outcomes are possible.
The mind of an ancestor who wants to remain fully a member of their living community can do that. (Maybe this is what a psionic body is.)
The mind of an ancestor who wants to come back as a natural feature, such as a particular mountain or beast or tree, or even come back as a future descendant or some other humanoid, can do that.
The mind who just wants to escape the Dark Sun and disintegrate into the oblivion of Shadowfell, can do that.
Resurrection is 100 years. True Resurrection is 200 years.
Back in 2e when Dark Sun was created the Resurrection spell worked on a target dead for up to 10 years per caster level. So about the same as True Resurrection in 5e.
Guess that means it takes a few centuries of floating around in the Grey before your soul breaks up too far for anyone to recover.
"Standard Array" didn't exist in Dark Sun back then. Your rolling options were:Since my memories of dark sun are 2E, I would would really hope dark sun had an ability score array higher than normal. Something like 19, 16, 15, 4, 12, 10
i don’t know I’m flexible in this
1) 4d4+4 rolled six times
2) 5d4 twice per ability score, take the higher of the two.
3) 5d4 six times, assign as you prefer.
4) 5d4 twelve times, assign six as you prefer
5) Every score is a 10. Roll 10d4 and add whole dice to any score you want (No splitting a 4 for +2 Str and +2 Con, for example)
