This is a setting where my parties have killed others for a canteen of water and didn't even warrant a 'what the gently caress is wrong with you?' for it. Holy crap you're right. I'm reading through a Dark Sun module and here's an exerpt: The mul whips the PC unmercifully for 2d6 rounds or until the character lies unconscious. If the PC (or anyone) fights back, the guards do not respond for 2 rounds. If the PC fights back, he is hauled off and thrown into the Pit a dried-out well used for punishment. If the PC is unconscious, his friends can drag him to the shade then go back to work. Thereafter, bad blood exists between the overseer and the PC.

PeterWeller posted:Basically, your average Dark Sun outfit is about as practical and realistic as your typical chain mail bikini. Relax, they were probably escaped slaves or something. Dark Sun does have rules for wearing metal armor in the desert and there's a non-weapon proficiency called "heat optimization" which represents how practical you are when wearing clothes in the desert.

It's a fantasy universe. Can't you just make halflings be whatever you goddamn want them to be?

I could be wrong, but I think the defiling part of magic happens during memorization of the spells, not the execution; at least it was in 2e.

zeal posted:Was there ever mention of illithid in Dark Sun? They seem like a pretty natural choice for what must've been the premiere 2nd Edition setting for psionics. They were in one of the video games, Dark Sun 2: Wake of the Ravager.

PeterWeller posted:That was one of the better parts of that game. Killing an Elder Brain was pretty sweet, but on the other hand (and like much of that game), it didn't really evoke the Dark Sun feel. I kinda agree with you, although I felt that Tyr itself was true its setting. I guess what killed it was that you could travel through planes and there was a friggin jungle.
