Feb 11, 2006 12:39:25 How worthwhile is the info in this book for use in DS? I have always preferred to use the original stuff modified for 3e, but I am curious if anyone is using good chunks right out of Sandstorm.

There was another thread about this recently - can't find it at the moment, though, sorry.

In short, yes, there are several elements in the Sandstorm book that can easily be ported over to a DS game, primarily environment and terrain features, but also plenty of the spells, feats and monsters. The classes need a bit more work (but it's still manageable), but I'd imagine that importing the races might be a little more problematic for the standard DS game.

Feb 11, 2006 13:11:49 Yeah, I tried to find previous comments, but couldn't find any. I am not concerned about the races, just the environmental effects, terrains, weather, etc. I figured that it would be, plus the spells and prestige classes and feats.

Feb 11, 2006 15:54:43 OK, I found the Sandstorm threads - there were five of them! Some are just mentions and others are links to other threads on the same subject, heh heh. Here are the most relevant ones:

Sandstorm in DS.
Sandstorm and Dark Sun, help creating character.
Sandstorm.
Sand Storm.
