That made me think that other power sources will be introduced later. The "three new power sources per cycle" thread got me thinking about what those power sources might be:Psionics: Virtually guaranteed. Seriously, as much as the psi-haters may disagree, psionics are a part of D&D. They're like the sixth ranger of D&D in that they're (almost) always introduced later and aren't always a perfect fit, but they're a tradition.Nature: This is a good possibility. The (presumed) exclusion of the Druid and Barbarian from the PHB I is a good sign of this. The only thing that doesn't make it a guarantee is the inclusion of the Ranger, which is about as Natural as you can get. Maybe the Ranger will be changed a bit, but I don't see how you can divorce it from its Nature roots.Ki: The only hint this may happen is no monk in the PHB I. While certainly a possibility, it may be too similar to Martial. You'd have to do more to differentiate the two. Also, there's the problem of making it power source: ASIA. (celebrity jeopardy voice)Incarnum: A real shot in the dark, that one. Did Incarnum even sell well enough to warrant it? I like the concept, and I know they had some serious potential, but the powers were really blah.Draconic: Just a totally random guess here, but one I think works. Could well be their own power source. Dragon Shaman, Sorcerer, Dragonfire Adept...could work. Could very well work.What do you think? Any further ideas for power sources are welcome.</blockquote>
