Are there others? ~~J Subj: Re:Mystara books?

    Chapter Two: Races Racial Characteristics The races of Athas did not come into being nor did they evolve in the same way as most other D&D campaign worlds. As such, most of them, though they might resemble their D&D counterparts, differ greatly from them in many ways. Ability Adjustment The following table details the ability adjustment of each PC race of the DARK SUN setting. Table 2-1: Racial Ability Adjustment Race Ability adjustment Aarakocra, Silvaarak -2 Strenght, +4 Dexterity, -2 Constitution Dwarf +2 Strenght, -2 Dexterity, +4 Constitution, -2 Charisma Elf -2 Strenght, +4 Dexterity, -4 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, -2 Wisdom Half-elf +2 Dexterity, -2 Constitution, -2 Charisma Half-giant +8 Strenght, -2 Dexterity, +4 Constitution, -4 Intelligence, -2 Wisdom, -4 Charisma Halfling, Feral -4 Strenght, +4 Dexterity, -2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma Halfling, Rhul-thaun -4 Strenght, +2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom Human None Mul +4 Strenght, +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma Pterran +2 Strenght, -2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom Thri-Kreen, Jeral +4 Dexterity, -2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom, -4 Charisma Thri-Kreen, To’ksa +4 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, -4 Charisma Psion Favored Class In the DARK SUN setting, most humanoid races have in natural potential for psionic power.
