Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 9721977" data-attributes="member: 52734">I think I'd only offer one of the three stat increases - +2 Str, +2 Dex*, +2 Con per character.  Though +2 Dex seems iffy, I'd be more inclined to offer +2 Wis (Being wise enough, or having the willpower to stay alive).Since this is a one-shot, the long term Defiling effects need to either be dropped or made more immediate.  Perhaps after Defiling 3, 5 or more times you gain a level of exhaustion from the constant drain.  There needs to be a noticeable downside/repercussion to Defiling within the span of the one-shot, otherwise it becomes a no-brainer to Defile all the time.I'd go with a slightly simpler material list:---------------------------------------------Cloth (common): Armor weakens on a Nat 17-20Bone/Chitin (common): Weapon weakens on a Nat 1-3; Armor weakens on Nat 18-20Stone (common): Weapon weakens on a Nat 1-2; Armor weakens on Nat 19-20 (double weight)Obsidian (uncommon): weakens on a Nat 1-3, +1 damage; piercing/slashing onlyWood (rare): weakens on a Nat 1-2; Armor weakens on a Nat Bronze (very rare): weakens on a Nat 1; Armor weakens on a Nat 20Iron (legendary): no break chance, increase weapon damage by 1 die size; Armor no weaken chance, +1 ACWeaken: On weapons, reduce the damage die by 1 die size (1d12/2d6 --> 1d10 --> 1d8 --> 1d6 --> 1d4 --> 1d3 --> broken)Weaken: On armor, reduce the protection by 1.  When it reaches +0, the armor is destroyed.A weakened weapon or armor can be repaired one die grade or point of AC during a Short Rest.--------------------------------------------------On Halflings, I'd give them something other than a bite attack.  Perhaps automatic skill with Survival and/or Telepathy 60 ft. (to represent their psionic abilities).  To represent psionic aptitude, perhaps give Halflings the Magic Initiate feat for free.For a one-shot, I don't think I'd ban classes, but it needs to be made clear they will need to have a Dark Sun flavor (Paladins are champions of the people, elements or the Sorcerer Kings; Clerics are the will of the Elements; Rangers are wilderness survival experts; Monks are devoted to the discovery and augmentation of self and quasi-psionic in nature).</blockquote>
