You have to resort to the black market for things like components, spell books and forget about buying magical items. Learning magic is harder and it can get you killed.  Athas also did not have sub races either so adding things like Eladrin defeats that concept as well. They did add the Halflings of Thamasku later on that were different tan the DS Halflings but they were not really available as a player race and came towards the end where DS and TSR were falling apart. Warlocks do not fit because arcane  energy on Athas comes from plants not pacts and its a silly idea to make an Athas pact with a tree as that is more Spirits of the Land and things like Druids and Rangers are not fans of arcane magic. Sorcerers are also out for similar reasons and the Sorcerer Kings are a title (wizards and psions).</blockquote>
