[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4513794, member: 63763"] The non-AC targetting has more to do with the implement or weapon attack concept, so it's less power source specific as it has to do with implement vs. weapon. Certain power types favor certain roles. The fighter is a bit strikerish [although it could be argued the warlord is less of a strker than a defender as a secondary]. This can be expanded over time. The arcane/divine leanings may be more leftovers from older tims [where divine = healing and arcane being the defacto controllery effect]. Primal is going to be nature based [in the same way that Arcana and Religion are tied to Arcane and Divine classes] and I would guess they might have a some kind of "channelling" theme. The Druid will perhaps have shapeshifts, the sorceror or whatever primal controller they have may wreath themselves with leftover effects of the spells they cast, while the shaman may ake on totemic aspects. In essence: The rage idea of lasting effect after a daily may apply to all the primal classes. The controller idea may be a bit of a stretch, but the Druid shapechange and totem things could fit into the rage idea [which is sort of totemic itself, in that the barbarian takes on the aspects of spirits it manifests].
