[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4772698, member: 48965"] And what if said players don't have a context to differentiate Arcane Powers vs. Martial Powers vs. Divine Powers vs. Primal Powers vs. Shadow Powers vs.... Or better yet why is it that WotC can define what power sources exist... but then it is up to me to define them, IMO that seems like a halfway type thing, I'd rather powers be generic and you decide what type of powers exist in your world and how they work...or they be named and defined... but not some halfway point where you're using "Arcane" power... but you will define what that means, even though we've already defined specific powers that fall under it as a category... so really you don't have the freedom to define what it is, only how you describe it. Maybe they're trotted out again and again because they are serious problems for some... What I don't get is if you don't have the same problem and aren't offering a solution, as opposed to trying to argue down an oppinion with your own... why even post in a thread with a topic you are tired of hearing about? And honestly, I'd like to se a concise summary of what differentiates the power sources, mechanically and fluff-wise, in 4e... because I'm not seeing it. Uhm, you realized you just ignoreed the mechanical differences and only took into consideration the similarities, right... basically exactly what I think RC said many are doing whenever one of the wierder martial powers is brought up and an explanation for how it works is asked for. Just as a quick specific... how is only being able to rage myself vs. allowing anyone to rage not a huge mechanical and flavor difference? [/QUOTE]
