I for one like both the Darksun and Spelljammer settings and have toyed with
opening Darkspace (or Athasspace which ever you want to call it) to my
Spelljammer universe. However my fellow DM who runs a Darksun Campaign
pointed out that bringing a Darksun Character over into standard DnD would
mean having one mightily powerful character that would throw the balance way
out of whack. Imagine having a Cleric that did not rely on Divine powers who
drew their energy from Fire for example, (these guys are usually immune to
fire), imagine how much damage they would do in the Phlow.

Then you've also got the fact that Darksun characters are mostly psionic and
would kick a standard character's butt anyway, then there's the defiler's
and preservers.... etc. All in all Darksun is a much higher powered setting
then any of the other (save perhaps Planescape). If you tweaked it to make
it less high powered you may as well use the standard Psionics rules and
create a sphere with a desert planet and save the hassle.

But as people have pointed out its a moot point as if you want to do it
there's nothing stopping you and technically I should not be propagating
this discussion chain so I'll sign off again and keep reading.
