    Piracy

    I pirate every book before I buy it. If I like it, I buy it. If I don't like it, I don't buy it. While pdfs are great, but you know, it does not do me any good considering I can bring them to the table. Sure, I could bring a tabletap but it does not have the same feel or atmosphere. In this...

    Why don't monsters have power sources?

    Very possible. I can see a variety of powers used by monsters. Or how about powers that do certain things to certain power sources? A Brain Mole can daze only psi power source characters.

Maybe not in the term of Counterspell, but many other fantasy settings have Counterspell almost as often as they have a fireball type of spell. It might be my exposure to other games that has imprinted me on the...

    Why don't monsters have power sources?

    I think you hit the nail on the head. I'm okay with a majority of classes having consistency between classes, but I do have a problem when they feel the same. Power Sources to me should make a wizard feel a little more like a wizard, and the Martial Source a little more like a Martial character...

    Why don't monsters have power sources?

    The topic is odd to me. There is a variety of choices that could be made, as well as extra options. The only real reason that comes to head is that they don't have an idea of which power sources will be available later. They wanted to keep it open. That being said, imagine if Power Sources...
