How would you re-envision Darksun with 4e?

[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 4197183, member: 15538"] Okay, having some time to reflect on Dark Sun and knowing more about 4e. The setting: Reboot to the original setting, and put out a mini-campaign that results in Kalak's death. Assume in all future publications that the city becomes free, without relying on any specific group of characters being responsible for it. Characters: Paladins get retooled powers tying them to the elemental clerics; special mounts are out, elemental boons (like finding water or something) are in. Becoming an avengion or dragon obviously becomes an epic destiny. Systems: Weapon materials become important. Any time there is a material disparity, there should be a chance of breakage. Some feats or powers might relate to this. Defiling/preserving becomes an alignment type thing. Preserving is the default for PCs, but they can be defilers if they wish. Whether or not one or the has objective advantages, it's mostly a matter of flavor. But some feats and maybe a power or two exist that emphasize one or the other, and of course it ties to your ultimate destiny. Perhaps an emphasis on defiling or preserving could even be a paragon path. I would definely write up easy, generally non-consequential rules for the amount of plant life in the area. Defiling worsens the local conditions, while preserving is limited in how how much and how often it can be done. [/QUOTE]
