[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8727388, member: 67338"] so back when 4e came out someone (that didn't like 4e) made a joke about not understanding what a martial power sources was...maybe a big green battery in the center of the universe (Green Lantern Refrence) and even though I liked 4e I thought that funny... and I want to repurpose it here... if a new source book came out tomorrow where there is this big green power battery in the center of the universe, and it empowers people with aberent energy... this aberent energy allowed them to with 'honeyd words' (one of the powers they can have) apply the charmed condition to your character and have you do something as long as it was not out of character... BUT they had a bigger power, spend a power token thingy and they could change that to dominate and make you do something that your character would NOT normally do... the word magic isn't used but it would not be hard to say it is implied... and there is a save (say 8+prof+cha mod)... and there were both monster NPCs, AND a PC class that could do this would that break your idea of the game? Would it matter if the flavor text was "only the strongest wills trained to hone there craft could learn these" added to it? [/QUOTE]
