    Default Advanced being level loss

    Given that advanced being is changed physically and mentally, what happens when an athasian dragon or avangion suffers level loss?

    Do they physically revert, lose class abilities, or something else altogether?

    That is a very interesting question, and I don't think it was ever addressed in the 2E Dark Sun rules.

    My first thought is that the physical changes should not be undone. There is a particular spell cast to change the physical form, and I don't see an Energy Drain affecting that. That means they don't lose hit points (as those are a function of the spell, not of leveling up), AC, breath weapon (if a dragon), or magic resistance. They basically only lose xp, casting level, and spells per level. For a dragon character, I'd require them to create a new obsidian orb to use at their new level (and at each level they gain until they reach their un-drained level, assuming they lost one than one) before they can cast psionic enchantments.

    So far I haven't been able to find anything on it there or in the Dragon Kings book.
