[QUOTE="Silverblade The Ench, post: 4766856, member: 19083"] EXACTLY!! ;) that's why myself and a lot of other Dark Sun fans completely ignore the stupid mess TSR forced the setting down, by having novels and adventures madly change the setting, ruining it in fact, AND having it so that a bunch of low lvl noobs took out a bunch of near-deities... Yea, [I]riiiiight [/I]and any sane DM woudl allow that ;) Only very high level PCs would have a hope of killing ONE sorceror king, never mind six! Only the heroes: the PCs, should kill a villain of that might, because it's such "Oomph!" ya know? and killing Kalak and the having a [I]DEMORACY[/I] in Tyr...WTH?! disgustingly dumb as slavery, fear, oppression are all part of what makes Dark Sun so awesome, remove that and you have "Forgotten Desert" (tm) :p My pal's two PCs had to flee Athas at lvl 7, because the gladiator decided to slaughter everyone ion an inn, when the mission was to kill just 1 person..this PO'd off King Kalak (bad for law and order) and so he perosnally ordered their deaths....they managed to leave via a complex deadly journey through the Abyss. BLack Spine is pretty good, IMHO, but causes serious problems because of the Gate involved, ie other planar entry, and how that changes things if it's not niped in the bud before ANY problems arise, so a DM has to be damn careful.
