I have just had a glimpse of Dark Sun 4E work in progress.

I don't think you guys are going to be happy. :(

Would you care to elaborate?

I can't. I shouldn't have been shown it, and I don't want to get my friend in trouble.

Did you, ah, read the bits about Druids and high-level arcane casters?

(God this is an awkward way to talk around things.)

If I had a sig I would add this to it.

It'd be a good reminder. The less I hear from you the more I like you.

I know a GM who randomly rolled for NPCs' psionic abilities under 3.5 and had a system to determine their daily power points. Due to a bunch of very fluky rolls and some decent role-playing by the players, a certain NPC who was only meant to be scenery filler got something interesting.

Long story short, party member goes off with bar wench, party Thri-Kreen (barely more than a savage) thinks the bar wench is being seduced away to be made use of as food, bar wench doesn't take kindly to this and unleashes Ultrablast.

Why don't they keep their skin covered? Well, furs and leathers are loving warm.

What's cloth made from?

Take a moment to consider that.

A couple layers of gauzy hemp or cotton keeps you cooler and prevents sun stroke.

There have to be some, otherwise what is everyone eating? Sand?

That's the point, though. Plant life is so scarce that they can't afford to raise crops for much else.

Sorry to be all :smug: but did you ever actually read the source books?

Not all of them, I'm still reading Changeling supplements.

I'm going to go ahead and admit you know better, and I was wrong. I'll shut up now.

From what I've seen, levels 20-30 mages get something special.

On a completely unrelated note:

Paragon paths are awesome, aren't they? They slot right in and let you work in new stuff into existing progressions. In fact, epic paragon paths are great since they can substantially remake your character in abilities and appearance.

Back on topic:

I like how in the DarkSun fluff high-level mages change form. It's really neat. I especially like the two different forms related to whether they're Defilers or Preservers.

I have it on good authority (from someone not under an NDA) that Warforged are not in Dark Sun, their niche is being filled by another race.

They're not doing it by giving characters direct bonuses in place of loot. That one I can confirm.

I'd like to say that jealousy doesn't suit Kerison.

Unfortunately, it's all he ever seems to wear.
