[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7914490, member: 6895991"] It ain't that easy even with your enthusiastic attitude. Environment challenges are nullified or heftily weakened by some classes (monk, barbarian, shapeshifting druid e.g.) Defiling: It is evil. A sorcerer if the concept would exist in Darksun could not be anything else than a defiler. He would lack the subtlety and intelligence to cast in a preserving way. He does not fit into lore in any way, and would not survive for long. And he is also one of the classes (Red dragon sorcerer) who nullifies the extreme heat conditions with a whim. Psionics is not magic, it is quasimagic, pure power of the mind. It never requires any components at all. It is best compareable to at wil lcasting of some mobs if you want to compare for what ever reason. For halfgiants use permanent "enlarged" humans, you do not need "goliaths" the naming of the later is a joke imho (it would be like naming barbarians Conans or wizards Merlins). The challenge for halfgiants lie in their size requiring more water, bigger equipment and they do not fit through anywere. And they got shifting alignment issues. But they are tough, very tough. Tieflings require demons or devils, which requires abyss or nine hells. None of these exist in darksun so why retcon? Do you also need aquatic elves there? No? Why? Does it not fit? Because no big bodies of water for them to live? See, same goes for tieflings. Because no progenitors for them to justify their existence. Edit: same goes for dragonborn. No Dragons there, so no dragonborn. The "dragon(s)" of DS are totally different thing than in other gameworlds. For all of you who want to play kitchensink in the desert with stoneage weaponry why don't you ask for FR accessory "Anauroch -10000 DR" including every race of the multiverse and all classes [/QUOTE]
