[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5871438"] It is different, but be that good or bad is a matter of opinion. Personally given that angular movement with squares is not the same as forward or lateral movement with feet, measuring movement/distance in "squares" IMO is less off-putting. Measuring distance in feet is great if you have no grid, but I prefer not to dig out the ruler. Super-hero is a branch of fantasy, modern fantasy. It's not modern S&S, that's something else, but most super-heroes fit into the traditional fantasy tropes of "armored warrior"(Iron Man/Steel), "at-range caster"(Dr Light, Dr Fate(who, BTW is literally a wizard)) or "skill-monkey"(Batman/Huntress). While "powers" being used universally may not have been the key, I did like "sources", I felt it gave a much clearer indication of where this class's background is based in and how their abilities should be structured. And now mind you, "powers" was just a general term, each power source generally had it's own specific term. Paladin's and Clerics had "prayers", Wizards/Bards had spells, ect... We could call Fighter "powers" "Maneuvers" or "tactics" or something martially-feeling. I agree that "powers" may not have been the right word, but I think looking at things in terms of power sources was beneficial. No, but neither are they obligated to change it. [/QUOTE]
