There are several possibilities. You can feel free to suggest more, but you're very unlikely to ever get your way. 1) Things remain as they are. 2) Dawn gets an item, but it doesn't take the powers they have now, and they're not expected to die for it. (In which case I'm sure you wouldn't be happy.) 3) Dawn gets strong PK powers and an item. I'm sure you don't want this. Right now Dawn (almost) never attracts people who both want to and effectively can PK. That's going to change if they're expected to and get powers. If the current crop of non-PKer-type no-PK-power Dawns give you any trouble, trust me when I say you seriously don't want to comprehend a Dawn that attracts the Arcanes and Bemus-eds of the mud and empowers them to rain on your parade. One of these guys would cause you more grief than a hundred Sladins. Dawn just getting plain forced to stay out of cabal wars doesn't fit their role, doesn't make sense and won't likely happen from above. If you want to see it, play a good Dawn, become an Apostle, and try to force it. I'm willing to bet that if you had to endure all that entails you'd be as willing as anyone to launch retributive strikes here and there.
