Ok.. finally.. here is my adjusted critical hit charts.. it is much easier to manger in a game!

Here is one recommendation.. remove "no unusual effect" from the hit severity charts If I have gotten that far through the process that is more frustrating than interesting. (that is what the original save after the roll 20 gives you so why repeat it?). Make the save easier if you want all the unusual effects to be rarer.

I am planning on using something like these wound rules...

The idea is that things are grittier based on actual player desire, instead of the outcome of a die roll, it keeps things heroic.

The types of wounds needs much elaboration and since that seems your area of emphasis?

Well, i intentionally wanted to scale back the descriptors to give the DM a little more space fro creativity, but I think including types of wounds that fall under each category might be a great idea.

As an update for anybody keeping track, here are some things i am currently working on and hopeing to put up this weekend

- Languages adjusted
- Channel Divintiy Feats Added
- Familiars and Beast Companions Added
- Character Tree Rules Added
- Changed Crit system
- Fixed cosmology to make a bit more sense, altered eladrin to fit new cosmology.
- Changing how Templars, Elemental Clerics, Defilers and Preservers work (I got some real neat ideas from Cwheeler!)
- added dwarven focus and elf run as standard abilities in place of dwarven weapons and group awareness.
- Works on the Monster conversions (and they are coming along nicely)

If any of you haven't had a look through the player's guide, I strongly suggest that you do so. There's a lot of interesting and usable information in there (A full 85 pages), including:

Racial information
Class modifications
3 full psionic classes
21 paragon paths
Feats
Items
Magic items
etc...

Even if you're not into Dark Sun, there's bout to be some poachable material in there.

In short, download it read it, and post your feedback !

Glad you liked the concept! (and looking forwards to seeing what you do with it)

Just stumbled across this, and wow! Love it.

What struck me was that you made the goliath/half-giant connection. I took an old half-giant character of mine from 2e with the Strength of the Land psionic power from Dragon Kings, then converted him to a goliath warden. So glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought of this connection.

Glad you like it Dragonhelm, I have a few tweaks I am typing up at the moment.. I should have them up by the weekend. The major changes are around the Defiler/Preserver and Elemental/Templar mechanics.
