[QUOTE="knightofround, post: 5554610, member: 27884"] Why you can't simply re-fluff the other PPs to go along with your "Destiny Warrior" theme? From your OP, it sounds like you're trying to fix min/maxers lack of choice when choosing a PP by...not giving them any choice at all. Seems counter-intuitive to me. Min/maxers enjoy min/maxing, you can't stop them, let them have their fun. If you're worried about min/maxers overshadowing non min/maxers well there's many better ways to go about that before reducing PC choices. If you're dead set on this DM-created-PPs-only thing, then why not take the extra step to build a unique PP for each PC? That way each PC will be able to feel unique. The varying class features depending upon combat role is clunky and its going to be better for some classes than others. For example, the "might of destiny" feature is going to be fantastic for psionic classes, because every power is an at-will. But it's going to be meh for everyone else at higher levels because they're going to be using encounter and daily powers much more frequently.
