More Dark Sun news form WotC Rich Baker

Rich Baker recently posted on his WotC blog a post spilling some more news on our beloved DS setting (http://community.wizards.com/wotc_richbaker/blog/2009/10/22/phillies_dark_sun_dragonborn_small_world)

Here is what i picked up from the long post:

- There will be dragonborn on DS, aswell as all the "core races". They will be called Dray and will be a organized tribe of mercenary warriors and sorcerers

- The Dray/Dragonborn will be vengenful and the tribes will protect each other

- Elves will be portraited as thieves and hafling as canibals, as in the original campaing setting, back in the 90's.

- The mechanics design have ended and the book is now on editing.

When more news surface, i will keep you up to date.

Little bit of info from WotC staff

Hey folks,

Richard Baker (Dark Sun 4e designer) and some other people on WotC have being running some playtest games and releasing some bits of info. So far i managed to gather the following:

1. Defiller and Gladiator are not expected to be new classes, but will appear as new mechanics.

2. The characters will be able to choose to use or not deffling magic. It will probably "hurt" allies (there has been reports of characters being blood after the use of deffling magic on the party)

3. Mul and Thrikreen are confirmed, no such word on half giants yet.

4. The new races will probably be squeezed in the setting (at least the dragonborn was mentioned on some article.

See you again soon.
