"Science" as a power source?

[dystmesis]

That got me thinking. I'd like to see a striker/defender/leader/controller for all power sources.

Martial Striker: Rogue
Martial Defender: Fighter
Martial Leader: Warlord
Martial Controller: ?? Monk??

Arcane Striker: Warlock
Arcane Defender: Sword Mage
Arcane Leader: Bard?
Arcande Controller: Bard?
?? Wizard ??

Divine Striker: Druid??
Divine Defender: Paladin?
Divine Leader: Cleric
Divine Controller: ???

What would then be fun is to have an all martial/all arcane/all divine party. Or maybe all science

I'm pretty sure they've said druids will be losing most of their spells and stuff in favor of moar wildshape and blasting powers, also Monk will probably be a striker. Anyway, neither are core.

Wizards have lost all of their save or dies, and all of their enchanting/illusion type powers, which sounds like it'll make them primarily blaster-oriented. Since bard is keeping their leet mind powers, it seems like they could either be a leader or controller.

Anyway, supposing all of that, in core, who will be the divine and martial controllers? If you've played IH heroes, the hunter, the closest class to ranger, amusing played a martial controller role by turning the terrain against the enemy and tripping them up, although their main role was as a leader.

Anyway, if rangers are in the divine category, that only leaves barbarians to be martial controllers

IIRC, they have said that they are not trying to fill in all the combination and that some of them are nonsensical. ISTM, Martial Controller would be what they were thinking of when they said that.

FWIW, I think monks are Strikers and barbarians are either Strikers or Defenders.

With the science power source comes the Summon Chlorine Elemental spell
Cute

With Science! as a power source, I now have a new avenue to introduce the Gnome Artificer. It would give the Gnomes flavor outside of "The other short people"

SCIENCE! controller has fascinating potential.

(tanglefoot bags but more powerful, blinding powders...)

Actually, 'alchemy' has potential, separate from Science/technology.

Maybe Alchemy, Mechanics, ...

Hmm. For alchemy, I'm suddenly struck by the idea of someone like Bane. (orcs through chemistry...)
