Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 8053194" data-attributes="member: 8461">2e Templar: Found only in the original Dark Sun campaign setting, this class was left out of the revised boxed set put out later, and it's not hard to see why. While the mechanics of the templar class aren't terrible, the design is practically tailor-made to cause conflict within the party. When's the last time you saw a PC class that couldn't be good-aligned? Or had a list of political powers that not only didn't work outside of their home city-state, but encouraged them to act like a petty thug within it (e.g. earning the right to have freemen, and later nobles, thrown in jail on the templar's say-so; as I recall, this could include other PCs)? And the list of class-based experience awards gave the biggest bonuses for advancing the agenda of their sorcerer-king, the local despot whom the templar worshiped for power. Unless you were running an all-templar party, or an evil-themed campaign, this class was just asking for trouble.</blockquote>
