Steel = base, nor superior.Also, nothing says you can't have the masterwork 4th ed materials in DS...very rare, but ok. Also I can imagine superior cloth/leather/hide in Athasian campaigns as gear you could buy, but rare/expensive.For example, instead of "Feyleather" you could have "Urukleather", made from drake hide or such.Scale armour and even plate armour made form special hides/chitin etc is possible.3) Just because Athas is metal poor, doesn't mean you can't have superior materials. All the elemental things that exist, gemstones, and mutant/weird beasties could provide better, unusual materials.Example:"Hammanu's Blood", a form of psionically tempered obsidian, slightly stonger but much harder than steel it doesn't shatter liek common obsidian.Edged or pointed weapons do +1 damage. Effects that deal with blood, blood loss also do an extra +1 damage, so a warlock implement with this could be nice.Obsidian orbs would be perfect as wizard implements <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
