Tough luck, githzerai/yanki, drow, dragoborn etc do NOT fit into Dark Sun, the beauty of Dark Sun is that it is *not like most D&D settings*.Keep it that way or they'd ruin it.Humans, mul, Athasian half-elves, halflings, elves and dwarves, half-giants and thri-kreen are thr proper PC races for Dark Sun. Live with it.4th ed rangers (way they are now as a light-armoured striker) and warlords are a great addition to D&D that would fit in perfectly to Dark Sun. Clerics would need tweaking, new powers to reflect the elements.Druids, hm...Preserving/defiling could be easily shown by adding a defiling "feat". Defilers *are* more powerful than preservers, they won after all. Just make defiling = unaligned or evil, add +1 hit/damage -1 saves, for spells, with more defiling feats making it even nastier, but, at the cost that defliers can only cast spells so often as they destroy the very "fuel" for their spells as they cast?4th ed lends itself very well to the oddities of Dark Sun, IMHO <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
