Dark Sun! I have them!

[Jack99]

The preview monsters certainly do, in fact I actually made a comment when Dark Sun creatures were being showed off that I felt that they were more powerful than normal. That was before I was aware of the changes to the maths in MM3. Everything they've previewed definitely looks right though.

Cool. I must confess I have been too busy to check out the monster previews, and thus totally forgot they were there. I am off to wizards.com

They previewed a Sorcerer King as well, he was a level 29 elite. Looked pretty solid stat block - especially because you can put a LOT of monsters with him. Dark Sun monsters are about as powerful as MM3 creatures in general, which is definitely a good thing.

Is the monetary system the original /100 (gp -> cp), and are there 'bits'? I was a little surprised that a recent excerpt on wizards.com for Dark Sun was using gp..

Do the monsters in DS follow the MM3 guidelines (solo and elite have normal defenses, solo have x4 hit points and most of all, monsters do around level + 8 damage) for monsters?

It looks like it but I'm not doing the math to double check.

I read some stuff on ceramic coins so it is there but I'm not sure how much.

Understood, thanks

Followup question, are there any non-fluff modifications to Elves to make them more Athasian? e.g. increased movement speed.

Although if he chose to do so he could, but he really shouldnt give out all that type of info. It would be just like cutting and pasting the stat block out of the book.

There is almost 20 weapons. One weapon is the Carrikal, it's a dual bladed axe with both heads facing forward. It is +2 prof, d8 damage, and brutal 2!

Nope, not even a feat that would do it for them.
