Regarding a(n) mechanic in Dark Sun 3

2 months ago by Michael Pols

Hi,

First love your products, but re the Dark Sun 3.5 book the "swatter" exotic weapon has a listed medium size damage of 2d8. This means the Large version that a half-giant would use would be either 3d6 or 3d8 depending on your interpretation. Compared to all other Dark Sun and PHB weapons this means this weapon so powerful that a half giant woulden't want to use any other weapon & hey even medium sized gladiators would be interested as well @ 2d8. Is 2d8 mean't to be the large version damage of this weapon??

A couple of questions:

Would a druid only be able to wildshape into his spirit of the land, or of any land he travels through? If so should this ability even work in completely desolate places like the Deadlands?

Can a druid with the Wildshape: Drake feat shift into True / Pure drake, or are they limited to the standard types in Terrors of Athas?

Hi

I've had a look at the new material on the site and think it's very interesting and good to see one of the best settings back in action! What I would really like is more info on the earlier ages of Athas-particularly campaign stuff on the Champions of Rajaat and the Cleansing Wars. It seems to me that this has always been a unique aspect of Athasian history that has not been fully exploited and i'm sure there must be other gamers who think the same. Playing one of the doomed races fighting for survival, or in one of the destroyed cities, would add a tragic element, and introduce interesting moral elements to the setting.

The 3.0 release is far more beautiful, utilizing many images. Assuming there are no licensing issues, why does the 3.5 release lack them?

Regarding a(n) inconsistancy in Prestige Class Appendix, Volume II

about 1 month ago by Charles

in the Faces of Forgotten North beta 1.2 you have on page 33 for the "Carver" a prestige class named the Honed Blade, stating that it is in appendix II, which it is not, or in App. I. looks like a cool prestige class, with death attack and all. <(^.^)>

Not in appendix II. Filed report in prestige class appendix II as well.

The damage reduction stats for the undead here seem to be operating under the DR rules for 3.0, not 3.5. Is there any way to fix that?

I have a player that wants to use the 20th level spell druidic transformation to become a elemental, can he do this later in the game at 20th level? Does the wizard/psion still have 10th level spells from the defilers and preservers: the wizards of athas after and beyond 20th level? The thri-kreen on athas , do the sub-races still there: jeral, j'ez, j'hol, to'ksa, tondi and the t'keech? because i have a player using a sub-race. Is any of the rules of the complete gladiator's handbook going to get a update for playtesting?

Question on the Legends of Athas, I really enjoyed the articule, had one ?. for the Shadow Shifter, there are only 5 stages before the complete transformation, how does that complete it, does each spell completed count as 2 stages, like all the other advance being transformation do?

Regarding a(n) typo in Wisdom of the Drylanders

This is what I have so far:

Page 4, Paragraph 3 on left "Your fellow Kurnans do not speak of Oronis any more deferentially in front of his templars; he is Oronis, that is enough." after Oronis there should not be a comma, if you are emphatic about the break then make two separate sentences with a period.

Page 4, Paragraph 1 on right "The few bandits that have attacked Kurnan villagers say that the villagers fight like the dragon, you would say rather that they fight like the wasp." the comma should be a semicolon

Page 4, Paragraph 2 on right "Tyrian fleshmonger." should be "flesh monger" two words

Page 4, last paragraph on right "marriages in your community are monogamous," the comma should be a semicolon

Page 4, last paragraph on right "no more than woman marries" place "one" in front of "woman"

Page 5, Paragraph 1 on right "Only the high walls and remoteness of Kurn," either drop the comma all together or add one after "templars"

Page 5, Paragraph 2 on right "its high walls, its arrows, its magic." place "and" before "its magic."

Page 8, Paragraph 1 on left Should Tyr be listed in first sentence as they no longer have slavery?

Page 8, 1st Paragraph under Freeborn Artisans, half way down "As Kurnans you will find Freeborn artisans the easiest to understand," make first letter in "Freeborn" lowercase

Page 8, Paragraph 1 on right "when Tyrian counsel voted" change "counsel" to "council"

Page 8, Paragraph 3 on right "This head (called the vizier in Raam, or the patrician in Balic) is obeyed" remove comma and "or" replace with "and" for "in Raam and the patrician" Also, it would look better if the parenthesis were replaced with commas

I would appreciate it, if you could list the languages that are spoken in Dark Sun. You also mention that common is a slave tongue under the human description, but that makes no sense. If common is the slave tongue, then most of the non-human races are going to be forced to spend skill points just to be able to speak to the non slaves in the city states, as they do not get the city state languages as bonus ones.
