They -could- forgo Psionicists. They could also forgo the Sorcerer Kings as would be Dragons and just make them into petty lords of a given region. They could rewrite the setting to remove Defiling and instead say that it was -always- a desert world and the Veiled Alliance are delusional or believe in myths. They could erase the Cannibal Elves and just have elves be human nomads with pointy ears.But. If the setting is going to be the full package, the whole of Dark Sun, it needs Psionicists.The fact that there are other forms of Psionics that are widespread and shallow doesn't mean the deeper end of the Will and the Way can be discarded. Quite the opposite, in fact.Ah. He blocked me while I was typing... figures.</blockquote>
