[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5727466, member: 996"] They already do (or did). There are no Martial Implement powers, for instance, and, in the PH, virtually no arcane weapon powers. Divine Implement powers are likely to be a holy symbol. Divine tends toward radiant, Primal towards 'elemental' keywords, Psionic toward psychic, Arcane towards force (and, really, a vast vareity), and Martial towards, again, weapons. But, you could embrace and deepen those distinctions, as long as you don't cross the line and start gimping or overpowering one source or another. A perfect example of crossing that line. Another fine example. Really, you're not talking about refining or expanding the use of Sources, you're talking about returning to the imbalances and stereotypes of prior editions. It'd be very easy for a party to end up with no Divine caster, for instance, and thus unable to Raise anyone, or no Arcane caster and thus unable to restore a Rust-monstered magic item. Leaving rituals open is a better policy - they're not important often enough to be character-defining, but when they matter they matter to the whole party, and they are an investment. [/QUOTE]
