[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 7981579, member: 14159"] Don't be afraid to say this class or this race doesn't exist in Dark Sun. No gnomes, no dragonborn, no warlocks, no sorcerers, etc. Part of Dark Sun is that it's D&D, but it's gone pretty far from the core rules, and wasn't afraid to say those things just didn't exist in that world. This idea that WotC has been on, since circa 2004 when Eberron came out, that every setting should include everything that's in D&D has been limiting, both in new settings, and adapting old ones. I remember the attempts to adapt Dark Sun to 3.5e that were in Dragon Magazine. . .and shaking my head at the idea of putting a Paladin into Dark Sun. My thought at the time was, that neither nature nor the elements nor the Sorcerer Kings would sponsor a Paladin, they simply didn't have room to exist in that setting. A version of Dark Sun where you could even play Paladin isn't even Dark Sun, it's more like Less-Bright Sun. [/QUOTE]
