first off does any one allow this in darksun? secondly what kind of things do you do to make them fit the setting if you do allow them? thirdly if you do allow them what kind of changes do you make to the abilities or add to them like dragon magizine does to make them psionic?

Well...maybe if you explained what "it" is - then you might get some replies

If I'm not mistaken (and I very well may), they're that sand swimming race from Sandstorm.

Yes, that skin-glowing, sand-swimming Sandstorm race.

I think the only section I don't use at all in Sandstorm for my campaign is the races section. It don't like to include races that weren't on the original setting, but I think they would fit just fine in Athas. The bhukas would have been killed by Dasky, though.

I add in races not in the original setting. Amazing what the Pristine Tower can drudge up over the years.

well you know how all the races has psionics. Well what sort of stuff would you give them that was psionic? I also saw that almost all of the races have at least a +1 LA so I suppose it would also have to be that way.

You referring to the Paizo version of Dark Sun? Because the Athas.org version doesn't explicitly state every race is automatically psionic.

As much as I like Paizo, I loath what they did to my beloved world of Dark Sun, and while it is nice that they attempted to kind of jump start the Dark Sun realm a bit, I wish they would have just left well enough alone.

Just my two bits.

I think the Asheratis are the coolest race from that book and the most easily incorperated into the setting as well. As indirectly mentioned by Xlore, they could be a result of the effects of the pristine tower. I would probably make them secretive and situate them in the Sea of silt along the coast, they might even be more common on the far side of the Sea having only recently made their way across the Sea of Silt to explore and expand their territory. Maybe they could even attack and invade Balic.

As another idea, they could be the remainates of the people of Waverly and still inhabit those ruins.
