[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 2299675, member: 16285"] Hard to give recommendations without knowing how much of the Athas.og stuffhe is using (IMO it is mostly better than the drag. mag stuff). There are a lot of dark sun specific weapons and materials that are useful. You gave a brief listing of books allowed, none of which included the exp psionics book so it appears as if the info you were given doesn't include that. IMO bad move on the DM since Dark Sun basically recreated and defined the psionics rules in 2nd ed. IMO what you need to know about the setting specifically is that it is very harsh and dry. There is a shortage of metal hence the alternate material types (bone, obsidian, etc.- these are fairly well explained in the athas.org document - again I don't know how much of that supplied). For a melee close in fighter type I would recommend a kreen. If you are not an experienced role player though I wouldn't go there. Kreen are great for role playing but are challenging to play.
