Yes, past editions have included a large quantity of class content for Dark Sun... just like they did for every other setting, because the pre-5e TSR/WotC ethos was that they had to publish huge amounts of crunch to make books sell. That won't change with bringing back classic settings. Ravenloft's character creation chapter is a pretty good indicator of where we'll end up<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A few races. Thri-Kreen & Mul will be new, then a Goliath reprint as Half Giants. (Who knows, maybe Half Giants get unique racial traits like how Leonin aren't Tabaxi)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Two subclasses - I can't see them ever going above 4.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A number of backgrounds. A variant entertainer for the Minstrels makes a lot of sense, Veiled Alliance member, Gladiator, that kind of stuff.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A boons system, in this case almost certainly Wild Talents. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Some expanded general rules - Defiling for sure, maybe some water management details.</li> </ul>This is also why I made the OP - because I just don't see them squeezing in a full class in the Dark Sun book, and I'd much rather have a small collection of subclasses that plug other holes.</blockquote>
