[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 1623269, member: 4910"] My experiences with Dark Sun can be summed up in 3 points. 1) You should in NO WAY rely on gear to get by. I'm not suggesting taking VoP, mind you (because that would mean not using what little gear you do get), but being able to get by without needing X Widget, Y Weapon, or Z armor is definitly a big plus. 2) Fear Halflings. It's not just that they're cannibals, which they are. Halflings are terrors on Athas. They travel in swarms. They're sneaky, devious, ruthless and deadly. Poison, traps, and guerilla tactics are their meat and potatoes. Er.. well.. no, actually, [i]you're[/i] their meat and potatoes, but they do those other things also. 3) There are no gods in Athasian cosmology. Clerics worship one of the 4 elements. [b]Get a Water Priest on your side.[/b] Being able to create water in large ammounts, on command is like being able to print your own money. It's an amazingly powerful negotiations tool when dealing with just about anyone (other than halflings, heh) and in the harsh climate that Dark Sun offers, it's very useful to your own survival.
