Yeah, I miss the comment about having a few characters rolled up in advance, because they are likely to die. A “stable of characters” was it called?

The 2e Campaign Setting rule book has a whole three pages of the importance of setting up character trees with 4 available characters to run.
“Character Trees
DARK SUN campaigns are set in a violent world. Powerful magics and psionics, desperate hordes of raiders, and even the unforgiving desert wastes all conspire against player characters death is not at all uncommon on Athas, nor is it uncommon for player characters in DARK SUN campaigns.
Replacing a fallen player character of high level a novice first level character is never satisfying
for the player. Also, where this new character fits into the plot is usually contrived on the spot.”
