[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 3087454, member: 27051"] I'm not a huge fan of the Paizo version (although it has some very cool ideas in there, such as blood obsidian and their take on the elan), but just to play devil's advocate for a minute, there are ways to include paladins, sorcerers and monks in the DS setting. Monks are probably the easiest, as there are already several monasteries scattered across Athas, from those in Nibenay, to the schools in Raam, to the Villichi convents. Sorcerers are likewise not too hard, once you ditch the idea that they have dragon blood (although there is an interesting angle that makes them long-scattered descendants of fecund sorcerer-monarchs like Abalach-re). Just treat sorcerers as spellcasters who don't need books and learn their spells by some other method. Done and dusted. As for paladins, Xlorepdarkhelm over on the WotC DS board has a great take on paladins. There's a link to it in the sticky archive thread at the top. [/QUOTE]
