[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 4964573, member: 3867"] Just curious, but where do you think goliaths fall short? It should be noted, too, that both thri-kreen and psionics have been around well before Dark Sun. Dark Sun just happens to be the setting that shined a spotlight on both. The designers have to ask themselves questions about where to put all this stuff. Where does it make the most sense? Having psionics in PHB3 and releasing Dark Sun around the same time is a no-brainer. The two go together like peanut butter and jelly. Psionics, as a power source, belongs in a PHB, which in turn leaves more room for setting info in the DS player's guide. Plus, psionics is useful for any number of worlds, like Eberron. Thri-kreen, on the other hand, could be either PHB3 or the DS player's guide. Though they were around prior to Dark Sun, they became an iconic race of the setting, so that's where they shine the best. There isn't exactly a right or wrong. Just themes, and some educated guesswork. [/QUOTE]
