[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4153206, member: 2067"] My guess is that the Artificer will be Arcane. The idea is that they tap the magic of items. Any kind of non-wand-using artificer would probably not exist. ;) I think elemental and primal will be rolled together, though not in every class (the druid, apparently, isn't very elemental, while a Wu Jen might be). [list=1] [*][B]Arcane[/B]: This is the power of symbols and magical rites! The power is in the world, and your motions and actions tap it. [*][B]Divine[/B]: This is the power of the Gods and religious rites! The power is in the gods, and you serve as a channel for it. [*][B]Martial[/B]: This is the power of your body and physical rites! The power is in yourself, and you just go "aargh!" and call it out. [*][B]Primal[/B]: This is the power of the Primordials and natural rites! The power is in the living things, and you manipulate it. [*][B]Psionic[/B]: This is the power of your mind and mental rites! The power lies in your very thought, and you just go "hmmm" and call it out. [*][B]Shadow[/B]: This is the power of Death and grave rites! The power lies in what was once life, and you twist it for your own ends. [/list] I don't really know what the last two would be, I'm not sold on any of the suggestions so far. Rejected Power Sources include: [list=1] [*][B]Hamsters[/B]: This is the power of little hamsters in spinning wheels! The power is in the hamsters, and you get them to run on wheels to power you!
