[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 4870075, member: 65637"] Another inclusiveness problem is gods and the Grey. Dark Sun didn't have gods, other then the sorcerer kings. Clerics worshiped the elements. The setting was written with 2e rules in mind - spheres were important. Water clerics got stuff fire clerics didn't. Again, this is where the problem sets in - in 4e, clerics all get the same powers. The difference between a fire cleric and water cleric may be minute at best - a small handful of powers given by a feat. Again 4e's "Everything is core" presents the problem of bringing in the core gods. As for the cosmology, the whole thing of the Grey is that you couldn't get past it (unless you were high level and/or really lucky). So I'm not sure how they're going to have the Feywilde (with or without the Grey. HEY YEAH A PLANE OF FEY CREATURES AND WILD GROWTH), or the astral sea, or...well, anything else. [/QUOTE]
