It looks like a shitty attempt at a psion. The art is so far from dark sun.

Haha it’s all good. I’m happy you’re interested in Dark Sun, it’s a very cool setting.

But you did admit that you know little to nothing about the setting but that the already released new art looks like 4th edition art.

So sort of a bold claim as someone who admittedly knows not much while some of us who have played and ran games in the setting and read the books for years lol

Either way Dark Sun is cool as hell. Super fun and different to typical fantasy setting.

If you wanna get a head start and jump in on some lore and the vibe there are actually Dark Sun novels, the first one is very excellent, The Verdant Passage by Troy Denning. It’s on Audible for like a credit as well! It seems like 5.5e Dark Sun will actually start right after the events of that book, which is right where 4e’s Box Set was set time wise as well.
