[QUOTE="Zaukrie, post: 5728519, member: 2057"] 1. I rarely agree with Kzach, but in this case I do. The power sources offer neither enough fluff, nor enough crunch. They just aren't different enough from one another to matter at all. 2. I totally disagree with the idea that power sources should come from planes. I don't understand why that's a good idea at all. Each plane/realm could be more infused with one power source, but I see no reason to tie power sources to realms. I also particularly hate the idea that the psionic source comes from the far realm. That makes no sense to me at all. I love the "creator" power source concept a lot, btw. 3. My current campaign is all about power sources.
