[Rampant Speculation] The First New "Power Sources"


log in or register to remove this ad


I think we will see a variety of new power sources. Some may even overlap other power source abilities, but with a new twist. Like Illusionist gaining some Illusion power source or being able to be arcanists. Maybe even both?

Why not allow classes with access to multiple power sources? That's the most likely source of mixed classes anyways, right? Paladin divine spells and martial ability. I wouldn't even mind some class specific class abilities made up as a single talent tree (unique power source) capable of being stolen for other new classes later.

Ideas: Ki, Psionics, Chaos, Sanity, Yogis, Elemental, Nature, whatever.
These are really just thematic combinations in the end, no?
 

"Psionics" are pretty much given.

I'd love to see a "Spirit" power source. Maybe in OA 4th ed with Shaman as leader. I could see Samurai as spirit defender (ancestral) and Ninja as spirit striker.
 

Psionics and Far Realm are easily my two favourite suggestions so far. I'd actually quite like to see them do another take on Incarnum sometime as well. It was soooo close to being awesome the first time around.

No, Gnomes are a power source. You can pack a lot of the little bastards into a decent size hamster wheel...
Better: Think 'Dark Crystal'! Now, that's a good use for gnomes! :p
