[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4166822, member: 3087"] I think all the talk of nerfing wizards is silly. A feat to be a preserver is about right. Defiling is easier, which makes it default. With the short-cuts taken you can learn another feat. Working in the Dragonborn and Teiflings as DB and Teiflings makes the most sense to me. I'd drop or background most of the other races. DS had a lot of races that weren't tremendously interesting to me. Hardcore DS people will disagree of course. Defiler Mastery also intuitively works for me. Your spells "stick" more often. That makes sense. I like the psionics as utility items suggestion as well. It helps "hide" magic items (keeping the "half-naked and using a stone club" aspect of Dark Sun) without wrecking game balance. Instead of getting boots of springing and striding you have a psionic ability that does the same thing. Having the half-elf racial thing act as psionics would also be interesting. I was onboard with warlocks as templars. It makes a lot of sense. With healing surges (and a martial healer cahracter) and the rest of it you don't need clerics anymore. (And elemental clerics were silly). Having said that the image of the Dragon-as-god-granting-spells was always interesting. If you're desperate for a psion you could probably mock one up using warlocks. Or wizard if you can get enough different abilities that look like charm effects (illusions instead of direct controller powers...) [/QUOTE]
