Whether mutation or by some kind of stasis or planar traveler or simply a halfling variant....different solutions for different degrees. Of course we could also just say that there are gnomes on Athas, that they were never wiped out. Give them a bit of a grim tweak....maybe they roam the Silt Sea as pirates on silt skiffs, scavenging and raiding, and there you go.But maybe another example would help; what about Dragonborn? I mean, to me, Dark Sun is really the 2E stuff. The original boxed set and its associated products. I didn’t hang around 4E long enough to make it to their take on Dark Sun. But I know they included the Dragonborn in the form of Dray. So here’s the perfect example of a race that was not a part of the setting as originally presented which was then added later on. Now, I would personally not really want Dragonborn in Dark Sun because of the whole dragon transformation aspect for defilers and the Sorcerer Kings being in various stages, with Borys as the only actual Dragon. Having a bunch of dragonmen running around seems to weaken that element of the setting. I’d lean toward not having them in the setting. I’d simply leave them out. But ifa player said he wanted to play one, then I’d really think it over. How would it be best toincorporate the idea of a Dragonborn to Athas? Should I go with how the official material handled it? Or some other way?How do you feel about the Dray? How did they impact the setting in your opinion?</blockquote>
