[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 5741737, member: 53176"] This article reminds me of something I would have done from the get-go with power sources. Introduce a list of "generic" power source pool powers. Basically, all martial classes are good at hitting things with weapons, and they all have similar flavored abilities despite their role. In practice: You could pick one of your own class powers, or a generic power which would be slightly less powerful (think of a pick between a level 3 class power or a "level 1" generic power). That way you could have things like fighters using a decent ranged attack when the flying monsters come out, or a inspirational boost from the dashing party rogue, without having to delve into multiclassing. A nice little perk that doesn't truly compromise the roles of the classes (class features are a big source of role mechanics), allows for a bit of character shaping without requiring complex planning, and helps jell the power source together.
