After a level, they get -1 weapons.  Essentially, they're 4th level characters, all with bone weapons that give a -1 on attack and damage. Then, you give them iron weapons, and they go nuts.  They will *kill* for a weapon that is more or less the exact same weapon that joe schmoe 1st level warrior starts off with.  And then, once you give them that weapon, they have to protect it, because they know that every thief and killer on the streets is going to want it, and templars might just "requisition" it if they so desire.Play your cards right, and your group won't be getting that +1 weapon until they hit 7th level or so.  Dark Sun made it so flippin' easy to be a stingy GM... and the players LOVED it.  Magical Potion Fruit.  Psionic Wild Talents (hated psionics, but loved the wild talents).  High magic, but at the same time rare because it was illegal.  Lots of races, but races that all fit into the world without it seeming crazy.  Role-playing hooks for every race, and only a few were sort of dumb (Pterrans spring to mind, as do Aarakocra...)</blockquote>
