"Assassin" Bards are iconic Athasian archetypes, and the idea of a defiling leader is hilarious to me.An interesting challenge: artificer. You can defile, too, and Dark Sun has a grand tradition of mutations-via-magic: perhaps your infusions mutate the characters, temporarily.Druids. Another iconic Athasian archetype, the leader-druid goes over well. If your party leans more toward the amoral end of the spectrum, there's always Gulg, where druids are basically enslaving nature spirits. This is how I fluff my Gulgan ranger's occasional heals.If you want that dwarf earth cleric back, go dwarf shaman and go with the animist and perhaps the Elemental Priest theme. The Templar theme actually has some robust healing in there, as a patch. Ardents work with the psionic-ness of the setting. Warlords are there, but they're kind of boring, IMO. But if you like scream-heals, they'll do you well.My Dark Sun party has seen a warlord (drunk, lazy human mercenary), a bard (arrogant, nasty servant of a sorcerer-queen), and an artificer (relic from a bygone age when Athas was more sci-fi).</blockquote>
