[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7988116, member: 6895991"] Ah yes, I do not have access to the revised set, but I remembered correctly then. A Paladin of good alignment carrying out the law of an evil sorcerer king. Hm. Very plot intense. I know some roleplayers at my table who love to build the characters psychology (the secret 3 1/2 th pillar almost never mentioned aka RP to the extreme), for these this would be a challenge, but for me as a DM it would be a nightmare, I had to tailor twists and bends accompanying the main story arc to fit their needs, so,no, not for me. Als o I do not want the paladin mechanics allowing for immense damage bursts a lot for DS. Sorcerers would tend to defile automatically, since they lack the discipline. that is one. Wild magic never has been a thing on Athas so that is not a valid background. Dragonblood? There are no true dragons on Athas, or any form of descendants through all the ages. Favored soul? How does this fit into the elemental clerics system. So maybe storm sorcerer, but tbh. in my vision of Athas if there would be a sorcerer by whatever reason, he would start to defile, and defile more, and so on like a loopback, and blast himself up at one point. Wizards in Athas are in fact quite sorcerer like, because the "weave" as an energy source for magic is replaced by life in form of plants, and in the version I intend also of creatures. There are no mage academies so a wizard might have a master teaching them in secret, or be picked up by the veiled alliance or such, before that he is quite unsure about his skills (so like a sorcerer) at least that's my pov for this setting. Also this is my homerule boon to wizards who defile, they get sorcerer points up to their INT mod and may instantly apply sorcerer metamagics to their spell with these points, so what do I give sorcerers who defile then? Yep, as I said Dray would be fitting, although I would have to check the lore on how well they might work together with other races. [/QUOTE]
