Dark Sun: Shattered Lands

Suggested party
The Dark Sun games were a commercial failure, but a player today might still be curious to try them out. If this is the case, the following party allows to get the widest experience of skills in one game:
 * 1) Half-giant gladiator
 * 2) Mul psionicist/cleric
 * 3) Thrikreen psionisict/druid
 * 4) Half-elf psionicist/preserver

This party features:
 * All three Dark Sun exclusive races: half-giant, mul (half-dwarf), and thrikreen (insectoid).
 * All three classes implemented for the first time in a D&D game: gladiator, druid, and psionicist.
 * An almost complete array of magic and psionic powers: three psionicists for the 3 different sets of psionic powers; one preserver (magic-user) for the magic spells; one druid and one cleric for three of the five elements of clerical spells. The cleric can also turn undead.
 * Two heavy-armored, close-combat fighters (gladiator and cleric) and two light-armored, long-range fighters (druid and preserver).
