My focus, in the post, is on the mechanical permutations.- Races -Dragonborn: As PHB. These are the dray. Former slaves of Dregoth, some have escaped captivity and attempt to make their way in the world.Dwarf: As PHB. At least one new racial feat "Craftman's Focus [Dwarf]" would need to be created.Craftman's Focus [Dwarf]Prerequisite: DwarfBenefit: Select a magic item slot. Whenever you use the Enchant an Item ritual to create a magic item of that slot, you can create magic items of your level + 1, instead of just your level.Eladrin: Not sure. I'd need to read my old DS boxed set in order to figure out where to fit them.Elf: As PHB. Between their speed of 7 squares and their Light Step feat (which makes them move faster overland), I'm not sure I feel the need for an elven run feat. I have considered a feat called "Horizon Runner [Elf]," which would use your running speed (Speed + 2) to determine your base overland travel speed, instead of your walking speed.Halfling: As PHB. Maybe swap out their "Second Chance" racial power for one that points to their cannibalism.Conspicuous Consumption - Halfling Racial PowerYou gain strength from devouring the freshly fallen.EncounterStandard Action - Melee 1Requirement: You must be adjacent to a creature that has been killed since the end of your last turn.Effect: You can spend a healing surge and add your Strength or Constitution modifier (choose at character creation) to the hit points regained.Half-Elf: As PHB.Human: As PHB.Tiefling: Not sure. Need to do more research.Others: Muls would need a new writeup, as well as Pterrans and Thri-Kreen. For Half-Giants, I'd be tempted just to use the Goliath from the PHB2, but I'm not sure about the Goliath's racial traits in 4e.- Classes -Cleric: As PHB, with minor changes. Instead of radiant being the most common type of damage, it will depend on the elemental aspects you choose. Cleric-only Channel Divinity feats would include "Blossom of the Sky" and such.Fighter: As PHB.Paladin: As PHB, with minor changes. Instead of radiant being the most common type of damage, it will depend on the Dragon-King you serve. You select a Dragon-King as your patron, and you are one of his/her templar champions. There would be paladin-only "Channel Divinity" feats for each Dragon-King, as well as paragon paths dedicate to the service of particular ones.Ranger: As PHB.Rogue: As PHB.Warlock: As PHB, with new pacts. With the cosmology of Dark Sun, Infernal could be reflavored to "Defiler Pact," and with some good ideas, one could come up with a "Dragon-King Pact," to represent caster templars that serve Dragon-Kings. Paragon Paths for each Dragon-King would be shared with the paladin class templars.Warlord: As PHB.Wizard: As PHB. Technically Preservers by default, there could be feats for Preserver and Defiler, both of which relate to critical hits. Preserver could require you to spend a healing surge to turn a normal attack into a critical hit, while Defiler could remove a healing surge from an enemy when you hit them with a critical hit.Others: PHB2 Primal classes are a no-brainer for this setting. The Sorcerer would fit pretty well, and I think the Bard would as well (with a paragon path or feat/power chain to replicate "Athasian Bards"). Barbarians could probably remain as they are, and Druids might need a little reflavoring to reflect animals of Athas origin. Not 100% sure on the other two Primal classes, but I suspect they'd work. The two Divine classes, however, I'm unsure about, since they haven't been revealed. If one is the Inquisitor, that might make a good class for templars as well.</blockquote>
