[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 4890690, member: 3867"] Pardon the mass-reply here... Gold is worthless in Dragonlance anyway, so that's why you lost the bet. Next time, bet steel! ;) I have no idea what this means, but it made me chuckle. :D Which gives me hope. The biggest reason I was hoping it wasn't Dragonlance was because I was afraid that WotC might approach the setting in a way that isn't conducive to the setting. So let's see how Dark Sun turns out. And as much as I love Dragonlance, I'm excited to see Dark Sun! Congrats to the folks at Athas.org for keeping the torch alive! I hope you guys get some loving from WotC for your efforts! Hells yeah! Check out this other part of the interview: Emphasis mine. So all the critics of the Prism Pentad don't have to worry. I would be interested to hear how the Dragon and Dungeon Dark Sun material from 3.5 would be utilized in the setting, if at all. I suspect we won't see a gladiator class. Rather, I could see it being a fighter build, or some sort of fighter paragon path. Dark Sun is a world that is so harsh, some of the races no longer exist. Gnomes are now extinct (and I hope that prevails). Some races, though, have adapted very nicely. Halflings, for example, are now cannibals. I think most 4e races will work nicely. The fey step of the eladrin might need some explaining, but a little fluff will work out. Dragonborn would be an incredible visual, but you would have to explain their relationship to the dragon. Goliaths would be a natural fit, though they may possibly take the place of half-giants (maybe they're one and the same?). I'm not certain how deva or tieflings will work, but I'm willing to reserve judgment. I'm hoping we might see some of the XPH races for Dark Sun as we did in the Dragon article in 3.5. Ooh! Sorcerer-king epic destiny! So if there's a new class, what might it be? Templar? Elemental-flavored divine class? What paragon paths might we see? [/QUOTE]
