[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 5969962, member: 42582"] It's a nice example, and maybe it can actually illustrate some of the differences of opinion. Because Superman's power source, in the causal sense, is "light gravity and yellow sun". And I think that's irrelevant to his character. Whereas, as you say, his heritage as a Kryptonian is pretty central. In the fighter PC context, having a heritage of demigod (or any other other paragon paths and epic destinies in 4e) of course is pretty important. But that can vary from PC to PC, and doesn't necessarily have to be cashed out with mechanical differences (in 4e it is, but I assume that those PC build aspects of 4e can't going to make it into 5e, at least not anywhere near the core). I certainly don't think it matters whether the power is SU, SP or EX. And in 4e, we don't need to ask whether a demigod's power source is Divine or Martial (though nothing would stop any given player forming a view about that, should s/he want to). [/QUOTE]
