Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 1226424" data-attributes="member: 907">Mostly unchangedFirst, a bunch of classes that didn't change much in the conversion.First, these are the classes that only have minimal changes, or none at all.BarbarianAs in the core rules, but without Medium armor proficiency or Swim as a class skill.BardBards are removed. If you want to play a character like an Athasian 2e bard, play a rogue and work on the Perform and Craft (poisonmaking) skills.Alternately, use the bard from athas.org’s conversion. If so, make Alchemy its own skill rather than a subskill of Craft, and make bards the only ones who have access to it.FighterThe fighter works pretty much like in the core rules, except Swim is not a class skill, and they don’t get free proficiency in Heavy armor.GladiatorWith the flexibility of the Fighter class, there is no need for gladiator to be a separate class. Just make a fighter and take appropriate feats. Most of the gladiator abilities will be converted to feats when I get to that.PreserverThe preserver is the standard D&D wizard, with the difference that they only get one free spell when they gain a new spell level (odd levels up to 17th) rather than two free spells at every level.I still haven't decided whether to go the Revised DS route of forbidding school specialization. The main advantage of doing so would be to allow some pruning of the Enchantment school (which has rather few spells now) in order to give psions a stronger niche.PsionThe Psion works as described in the Psionics Handbook augmented by Mindscapes, except that no subclass has Swim as a class skill, but all have Craft and Profession. Psicrystals are also out.Note: I may decide to revise the psionics system at a later date, but for now the main Dark Sun revision is enough. I'll probably take a look at that skill/feat system Green Ronin(?) is working on.Psychic WarriorThe Psychic Warrior works as in the Psionics Handbook plus Mindscapes, but without Swim as a class skill or Heavy armor proficiency.Note: I may decide to revise the psionics system at a later date, but for now the main Dark Sun revision is enough. I'll probably take a look at that skill/feat system Green Ronin(?) is working on.RangerRangers work like in the core rules. I’d like to find a clean way of dropping spells and replacing them with something else. If not, they get their spells from the regular Ranger list and not any elemental list.RogueJust like in the core rules, except without Swim as a class skill.</blockquote>
