The 4e Dark Sun Forum Archive

This is it folks, just two rules, and one's for you: post links to your stuff!
The other rule relates to me, and it says I have to update the Archive with your links...but that one I follow only when I feel like it ;)

Dark Sun Primer and Q&A: Your Source of Information, has nothing to do about pre-release stuff. It's a "How the World Works" type of thread, according to official 2e, 3e, and 4e DS books and novels. Check in there before starting a thread, maybe the answer is here.

- - - - ARCHIVAL 3.5e MATERIAL BELOW - - - -

Welcome to the Dark Sun Forum Archive. On this thread I hope to list all the creations of the Dark Sun board members, so that if you want to know what new creations people have come uo with over the years, you check here on this thread.

Submitting your creations 
The list mentions all creations on these boards by username. If you want to submit your own creations on the archive, create a post in this thread and fill it with links to your creations, I'll copy/paste the links to the archive regularly. 

Notes - Do NOT post directly your creations in this thread: create a seperate post first which contains your creations, then link it here. - PLEASE, do not edit your posts to add new material as I won't be checking up old posts for new information; you got something new for the archive?...simply create a new post with a link to it. 

Part 1 lists the classes (prestige classes, core classes, and NPC classes)
Part 2 lists the items (both magical/psionic and mundane)
Part 3 lists the spells and powers
Part 4 lists the monsters
Part 5 lists the NPC conversions (of NPCs from 2E Dark Sun books and novels)
Part 6 lists the feats
Part 7 lists homebrew rules (such as variant defiler rules, armor as damage reduction, alternate druids, spell-less rangers, etc.)
Part 8 lists fan-made fluff and setting expansions (stories about the world of Athas, descriptions of locales and people, legends, traditions, etc.)
Part X is a potpourri of all the fun stuff, the serious stuff, and...well, the other stuff that's of importance to the community (FAQ, Q&As, inconsistency threads, articles, etc.)
This symbol― Tongue out ―next to a link denotes something funny, tongue-in-cheek, or downright mad!

My personal rule modifications for Dark Sun:

http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=421117

I made a slight modification from my previous take on it, making the Sorcerer have the Unearthed Arcana rules for the Battle Sorcerer variant integrated in it.
(my other contributions -- namely the Dragons and Avangions, are being supplanted by the materials from the Epic Bureau, and are also offline. As such, I'm not gtoing to link all those threads)

No, but then again, I never saw you list it in the classes section. I was thinking that you weren't including links that were to off-site locations. However, I can list the articles I'm adding to my site, as I do, here to be included, if you so desire.

Currently, I have 2:

The Athasian Paladin

The Athasian Sorcerer

I'll be adding more as I have the time. Eventually, all my rules modifications will be up on my site, mainly so my personal gaming group has better 'net access to them all.

No, but then again, I never saw you list it in the classes section.

I had listed it in Part 7 - Homebrew Rules:

xlorepdarkhelm
Athasian Paladin
Variant Dark Sun rules

I'm not sure I should change it. Paladins, sorcerers, core class soulknives, as well as spellcasting bards and non-spellcasting rangers are not official parts of DS3, so I thought I'd put them in the Homebrew section. Wrong?

I was thinking that you weren't including links that were to off-site locations.

I have to take offsite links if the creations do not exist on the DS boards. I can ask people to update their old versions on the boards, or post the final versions in a new thread, but I can't force them.

Well, personally -- I'm of the view that I don't want to have the same information being repeated in two different locations. First, there is the redundancy of having it on my website and then again on these forums. Second, there is the logistics of having to update something twice if I need to make some adjustments. to me, it's more convenient to put my stuff on my site -- which is why I've also been stripping them out of my thread here as I place them there.

I say get use to the fact that you are going to have to accept offline links.

1) There's nothing wrong with that.

And

2) I certainly don't have the time nor the inclination to update two different sources whenever I make changes. I just don't have that sort of time these days.

Not what I said. For people like me who have only one source, the boards, we may not update the boards' version months afterward, even though the version on our computer has changed.
Update whatever you want, where ever you want, but just update it and I'll link it.

I haven't linked a lot of my stuff because I never updated it, I'll do that later.

Xlor, your thread is linked as Dark Sun Variant Rules, a pretty general title, so if you edit the first post in that thread to have a listing of all the links to your on-site material, I think it would make things easier.

Man, that Gunmore guy is always so grumpy, never anything good enough for him! Might be because he's a frog...silly frogers, all the same! :P

I sincerly don't remember that suggestion Grummore, but even if the search fonction were to come back, its still easier to use an archive, if its properly maintained.

Only Part X still has problems about streamlining and making it easy for people to use.

I'll look into adding a section somewhere about campaign expansions (Brown Lands, Alithids, Athasian Illithids, Far Lands, etc.)

I didn't make the map, David Scheimann (The Khan) did, and Brax had it up on his old site. Personally, I like the map, wish it was in the same style as cyrus9a's works.

Timeline of Athas

1st World's Age (-14,630)

- Ral's Fury
Creation of the King's Age calendar by the nature-masters based on the rotation of Athas's two moons. Originally titled "World's Age." Original calendar uses "Ocean" instead of "Silt," and "Island" instead of "Desert."

4th World's Age (-14,322)

-Ocean's Slumber
Discovery of the nature-benders, corrupt nature-masters who experiment with life in immoral ways.

-King's Slumber
First appearance of elemental clerics on Athas.

-Enemy's Agitation
Evil elemental clerics form an alliance with the nature-benders.
7th World's Age (-14,091)

-Island's Agitation
War between the nature-masters and the nature-benders until Ral's Vengeance of this age. In the end, the nature-benders are defeated along with their cleric allies.

8th World's Age (-14,014)

-Ral's Defiance
Nature-masters of Ty'agi attempt to expand the lifeforce of the ocean and accidentally create the Brown Tide-which brings about the end of the Blue Age.

-Friend's Reverence
Surviving nature-masters create the Pristine Tower to destroy the Brown Tide. This action changes the sun from blue to yellow, destroying the halfling civilization and bringing about The Rebirth.

-Island's Agitation
The new races of The Rebirth - humans, gnomes, dwarves, elves, and others - appear across the face of Athas. Great cities such as Tyr, Bodach, and Guistenal are founded to house the new races. Last use of "Island" and "Ocean" on the World's Age Calendar. Beginning of the Green Age.

-King's Slumber
Ruler of the rhul-thraun, High Lord Rhan Thes-onel, leaves the Jagged Cliffs to locate any rhulisti remaining on Athas. He never returns.

-Guthay's Fury
First use of psionic powers by the races of The Rebirth.

9th King's Age (-13,937)

-Ral's Fury
"World's Age" changed to King's Age by the rules of various cities. Dates remain the same.

-Ral's Vengeance
First reported sighting of the Messenger by a Tyrian astronomer. The comet appears every 45 years until the 190th King's Age/Enemy's Slumber when the cycle is mysteriously broken.

11th King's Age (-13,783)

-Enemy's Fury
Birth of Rajaat the War-Bringer.

55th King's Age (-10,395)

-Ral's Reverence
The thri-kreen of Athas, a previously thought unintelligent race, migrate from the Crimson Savanna to the Tyr Region. Though short-lived and alien in appearance, the thri-kreen possess great wisdom and insight. The current king of Tyr welcomes them with open arms. They give no reason for the migration.

66th King's Age (-9,548)

-Wind's Defiance
Mareet, ruler of Saragar, is visited by a time-traveler from the future. He tells the king an appending doom to Athas before disappearing. Obsessed with the warning, Mareet orders his most powerful psionicists to breach the time stream and determine the nature of the warning. They are later joined by a third psionicist.

-Desert's Slumber
The psionicists breach the time barrier and learn of the impending Cleansing Wars, Rajaat, and defiling magic. Mareet wants to warn all of Athas, but the psionicists disagree and take control of their leader. The three use their formidable powers to shield Saragar from the rest of the world. The Mind Lords are born.

78th King's Age (-8,624)

-Friend's Slumber
Current ruler of Urik persecutes the kreen and orders the death of all their kind in the city. Many thri-kreen across the land leave the cities to live in the wild. Migration of thri-kreen from the west comes to a halt.

87th King's Age (-7,932)

-Ral's Slumber
An unknown disaster befalls the city of Celik, which casts it into ruins. Survivors blame the ordeal on the reckless use of psionics.

123rd King's Age (-5,159)

-Wind's Fury
The feral halfling scout Too'lane discovers the Last Tree atop a mountain in the Forest Ridge. This ancient living artifact's location is kept secret by the halflings.

125th King's Age (-5,005)

-Guthay's Reverence
After three eons of study, Rajaat emerges from the Pristine Tower to teach magic to the Rebirth races. He teaches preserving magic openly, and defiling magic in secret to those of "questionable" character. For the next 1,500 years Rajaat studies how magic interacts with the Rebirth races, and decides that humans have the most potential of all to suit his needs.

134th King's Age (-4,312)

-King's Agitation
Rajaat begins a jihad against the preservers of Athas for the next thousand years. Preservers across the land go into hiding while fighting a losing battle against the followers of Rajaat.

144th King's Age (-3,542)

-Priest's Contemplation
Rajaat sends all but a few of his students away. Using the power of the Pristine Tower and the mysterious Dark Lens Rajaat creates his Champions. Each Champion is ordered to eliminate one specific race from the face of Athas in an effort to bring about the return of the Blue Age. The Cleansing Wars begin.

160th King's Age (-2,310)

-Guthay's Defiance
Kalak, 2nd Champion of Rajaat kills the last of the ogres of Athas.

-Ral's Reverence
Gallard (later known as Nibenay), 6th Champion of Rajaat massacres the last of Athas's gnomes.

Keltis, Lizard Man Executioner arrives at Saragar despite the powers of the Mind Lords. The Mind Lord's cleverness hides the entire population of lizard men from the Champion, and he soon leaves the Last Sea.

-Desert's Reverence
The First Sorcerer orders the defiler Qwith to explore the workings of the Inner Planes as a possible means of power.

-Wind's Fury
The great cities of Ebe, Waverly, and Arala are swallowed by the expanding Silt Sea, though later it recedes from Waverly. The nearby city of Bodach is spared, but becomes surrounded by silt.

-Mountain's Vengeance
The warlord Irikos, the left hand of Rajaat, sacks the city of Bodach-but is killed at the conclusion of the battle. His sword (a creation of Rajaat's), the Silencer, is lost for 2,000 years.

161st King's Age (-2,233)

-Ral's Fury
Infuriated at her lack of progress, Rajaat turns research of the Inner Planes over to Qwith's subordinates. Shortly after an accident of unknown origins opens a gate to the Inner Planes, and obsidian flows across the land for hundreds of miles in each direction until the gate is closed by the Seventh Tree. Thousands die in the disaster.

Those killed by obsidian rise as undead through a mysterious power from the Inner Planes. Rajaat's servants arise as the rulers of this land, becoming powerful thinking undead wizards and psionicists. The Dead Lands are born.

-Silt's Agitation
All life across the obsidian plain is obliterated except for the Seventh Tree, which becomes immune to defiling magic. Soon after the undead defiler Gretch discovers necromantic magic to replace the loss of defiling magic. Necromancer magic is born.

162nd King's Age (-2156)

-Friend's Reverence
Keltis (later known as Oronis), 10th Champion of Rajaat believes he exterminates the last of the lizard men. In reality several tribes survive, protected by the Mind Lords.

-Wind's Slumber
Tectuktitlay, 9th Champion of Rajaat destroys the last wemics on Athas.

163rd King's Age (-2,079)

-King's Vengeance
Myron of Yorum is replaced as Troll Scorcher by Manu of Deche, later known as Hamanu of Urik. He is given the sword the Scorcher, created by Rajaat, to complete his task.

164th King's Age (-2,002)

-Friend's Contemplation
Hamanu, replaced 4th Champion of Rajaat, kills Windreaver-the last troll of Athas and king of his people.

-Desert Vengeance
Rkard, the last dwarven king of Kemalok, is slain by Borys of Ebe in mortal combat-though Borys himself is gravely injured. The Champion's attendants spirit him from the battlefield leaving his sword, the Scourge, still buried in the dwarf's chest. Before he can retrieve the sword, Hamanu tells Borys of Rajaat's true plans for Athas.

Becoming aware that Rajaat intends to wipe out all races except the halflings, Borys leads the Champions in a rebellion against their master-from which they emerged victorious. Rajaat's halfling servants are banished to the Black as punishment for siding with the War-Bringer.

Despite their power, the children of Rajaat cannot destroy his mortal remains. Instead, Gallard separates the First Sorcerer's essence from his physical form, placing each in a separate location. Aided by the power of the Dark Lens, Gallard creates the Hollow, where he placed Rajaat's essence. Gallard then creates a cyst of enchanted stone called the Black Sphere in which he places Rajaat's substance. He then hides the Black Sphere in a location known only to him and Borys of Ebe.

Sacha and Wyan, who remained loyal to their master, attempted to breach the cyst before it is hidden away. Their plan is discovered and they are beheaded by Borys.

Through the use of the Dark Lens, Borys rewards the remaining Champions by beginning their transformations into sorcerer-kings. This process links each of them to living vortices, which allows them to grant their followers clerical spells.

The Champions realize that Rajaat's prison will not hold. Even segmented, Rajaat's power is supreme and he would one day be free. Hence, the Champions once again used the Dark Lens to transform Borys into the Dragon, whose power would keep Rajaat imprisoned for all time.

Borys's transformation causes him to become temporarily insane, beginning a century of rampages across the land. In the confusion, two dwarven knights named Jor'orsh and Sa'ram steal the Dark Lens. The remaining sorcerer-kings each claim a city of Athas and barricade it from the rampaging Dragon.

-Friend's Fury
Lead by Abalach-Re of Raam, the sorcerer-kings storm Guistenal and kill Dregoth, Ravager of Giants just before he is to become a 30th-level Dragon. The battle destroys the city, the land, and most of its population. Afterwards, Hamanu throws the Scorcher into the Silt Sea.

With the aid of his high templar Mon Adderath, Dregoth is returned to life as an undead dragon king. The surviving populace is gathered soon after, and construction of New Guistenal begins.

165th King's Age (-1,925)

-Wind's Defiance
Borys emerges from his insanity and learns Rajaat's prison is on the verge of collapse. Soon after he collects a levy of 1,000 slaves from each sorcerer-king, using their lifeforce to reseal the First Sorcerer's prison on a yearly basis.

167th King's Age (-1,771)

-Ral's Agitation
In an attempt to increase her power, Sielba, Queen of Yaramuke attacks Urik. Hamanu easily defeats her army and personally slays the sorcerer-queen. On the heels of victory, Urik's army sacks Yaramuke and burns the city to the ground. To appease the Dragon's wrath for killing a sorcerer-queen, Hamanu presents Borys with a levy of Yaramuke's riches-which pleases the beast and spares Urik.

-Silt's Defiance
Borys uses the booty gained from Yaramuke to build Ur Draxa, which becomes the greatest city on all of Athas. At the center of the city Borys places the Black Sphere for him and his city to protect.

-Enemy's Agitation
The sorcerer-kings call for a jihad against the druids of Athas. For the next three centuries the blood of druids across the land stains the sands red in what would be known as the Eradication.

168th King's Age (-1,694)

-Desert's Fury
After years of study Dregoth finally deciphers halfling records found in the caverns beneath Guistenal. The end result is the creation of the first generation dray, which Dregoth deems a failure and banishes to Kragmorta.

-Friend's Defiance

Avoiding Tyr, the Dragon attempts to take his yearly levy from the dwarven city of Kled. In the end he is driven off by Sadira and Rikus bearing his old sword the Scourge. During the battle Neeva gives birth to her mul son Rkard, named for the dwarven king who battled Borys 2,000 year ago.

-Friend's Agitation (Free Year 10)
Dregoth returns to New Guistenal from the Outer Planes with aspirations of becoming a god. Unsure of the condition of Athas he sends his templars to the surface to learn the state of the Tyr region, learning too late the events that lead to the death of several fellow Champions.

Albech-Re is killed on the Ivory Plain. The sorcerer-queen's body is completely consumed by a black ooze leaking from the broken tip. Rikus of Tyr breaks the Scourge of Rkard a second time, this time in the snout of the Dragon. The sword again issues forth a black ichor that completely consumes Borys of Ebe.
Tithian uses the Dark Lens to free Rajaat's substance from the Black Sphere, causing his essence to also be released from the Hollow. After 2,000 years of imprisonment the First Sorcerer is once again free. The result of escaping his prison destroys much of Ur Draxa in a grand explosion.

In the ruins of Ur Draxa Rajaat battles his former Champions. Rajaat imprisons Andropinis of Balic in the Black, then grabs the Dark Lens from Tectuktitlay of Draj and crushes the sorcerer-king's skull. The remaining Champions scatter while Sadira steals the Dark Lens and heads for the Ring of Fire.

Sadira of Tyr discovers that the key to Rajaat's defeat is his shadow, which gives him substance. Using the Dark Lens, the young Rkard casts a sun spell it magnifying its power ten-fold. The resulting brilliance obliterates Rajaat's shadow and sends his essence back to the Hollow, while his body is boiled away by the heat of the spell.

Having been in contact with the Dark Lens as Rkard cast his spell, Tithian becomes mystically connected to the Black and Rajaat's elemental nature. The result is Tithian becoming the Cerulean Storm. Sadira tosses the Dark Lens and the Scourge into the Ring of Fire, placing powerful wards around it so that no one can obtain the artifact and once again free the First Sorcerer.
As Rkard's spell lights up the sky, a great earthquake rocks the Tyr Region. The full force of the quake is centered west of the Tablelands beyond the Ringing Mountains. The resulting quake creates the Great Rift, a passage leading to the Crimson Savannah of the Kreen Empire.

-Desert's Fury (Free Year 11)
The Wanderer discovers the lost halflings, the rhul-thraun, of the Jagged Cliff.

-Priest's Contemplation (Free Year 12)
After leaving the Jagged Cliffs, the Wanderer travels north and learns of the Last Sea. There he discovers the bizarre land of the Mind Lords.

The Coruscation begins, the Day of Light prophesied by the dray when the blood of a thousand unbelievers runs in rivers at the feet of Dregoth. This sign is to bring about the coming of a new age where Dregoth is supreme.

I'm about to open a picture gallery and I'm sure there are a lot of fan-made art pieces, perhaps not even scanned, laying around good people's homes.

So, dear people, please, send all you have to [email]ivo@megatherion.com[/email], and I will put it all online into the (almost)-brand-new Dark Sun Repository found at http://www.shattered-world.org. Let's make the biggest and friendliest DS library site together!

The link to strength of the land power under the spells & power's section is incorrect. It leads to a thread about Kam's nightmare beast coverstion.

Hi back to you all, I've been off on family affairs for close to a month, and probably will have to return to it in the coming days, or weeks, so I warn everyone in the community to not count on my participation as a sure thing...obviously.

I'll be Online - like now - when I can, but even then I may not be able to do things like complexe art directing because I won't have access to the things at home...since I won't be home. The best I'll be able to do is maybe a half-hour on a borrowed connection every two days, on someone else's computer.

I'll be contacting all those that have sent emails to me, give them the lowdown on things (right expression?), and if need be delegate my responsibilities until I can return to normalcy again...as far as that has any meaning.

Right now I'm at home and will do things as if I were to stay here, but any signs that I'll have to go away again and I'll jump in the bandwagon of responsibilities delegation in a snap. (... which I should have done prior to going away in the first place, but I was asked away too fast for me to do anything else than edit my MSN message to indicate I was "gone on family affairs"...and then you had to read french too to get that...ahh, what the heck.)

Actually, that is not the case. When loading the new boards DS page it reads "http://boards1.wizards.com/etc etc", and so do all of the windows one can open from the links contained in the Archive. I tried random samples, from new links to old ones, and its always the same.

To the point then; the Master Shipfloater Prestige Class is really good but he hasn´t got the usual text Weapon and armor proficiency explaining if he gets a new proficiency; which leads me to the suggestion, as master shipfloater I think he could be given a free martial weapon proficiency feat, after all hes got to defend himself and stay focused hehehe

Since I can now edit this monster, I've added a 4e Dark Sun section at the very beginning, before Part 1, with the Psion and Defiling Rules that have recently appeared.

Good effort on the part of Zardnaar and jonplaywu! I hope we will see more early builds like this, to help developers. Even if WotC does develop 4e DS, and it doesn't suck, we'll still need our own add-on rules for many things, that I am sure of.

Hey Penn I have been gone for a long while now hehehe so I read that there is a section for Dark Sun 4e... where is it so I can give some ideas and maybe throw a couple of NPC´s in fourth edition, I think it will be mostly Humans with the core clases Fighter, Rogue, Ranger. I´m thinking of converting Semponius of Asticles to 4e since he is just a human fighter lv6 lol I´m sure there has to be some new DARK SUN powers for the fighter as well or there are thoughts about them.

For 4e DS stuff, alternate between this forum and Arena's.

I could send you my half-giant guard and elite soldier, and templars and templar knights. Or you can try to make a few of your own (so your ideas are not influenced my mine) and send them my way, so we can mix 'em; [email]pennarin@gmail.com[/email]

I want to produce a number of NPCs for my adventure, some you can kill or fight, others that are true NPCs in the 4e sense of the word, i.e. NPCs that can interact non-violently with the PCs. I can tell you about those as well, in an email. Could be nice to design for you, a testbed if you will. Usually you design them with a level (sometimes not even) and Skill scores, hence the NPC/PC interaction...but nothing's preventing us from making more complete NPCs (i.e. a stat block as full as that of a monster's).

Hey sure send me the Templar ideas you got I´ll have a base to start so I can come up with some of my own. I think that the Templar should be a combination of Paladin, Cleric and Warlord but it could be resumed with the Paladin an Cleric with some more cleric oriented powers. I can only speculate. Im not much of a rule guys myself but I can give ideas as to how make some powers hehehe
