[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 5970041, member: 48965"] No I would disagree with this, as it is way to specific and it is his kryptonian heritage which causes yellow sunlight to effect him (not sure about the light gravity thing in more modern incarnations). It also doesn't define many of the limitations to his power... such as the effect of different colored kyrptonite or magic on him. In a causal sense I'm pretty sure his power source would be the broad category of alien heritage since this is where everything stems from. I think this misses the point that these categories have actual rules, limitations, etc. attached to them (admittedly minimal in 4e but that doesn't have to be the case in 5e) in the game and thus I think it is pretty important that the fighter's power source be defined in a mechanical sense... just like other classes powers are. Why shouldn't my "demigod" fighter get the benefits and limitations of the divine and martial power sources... while my high level "enlightened" fighter might have the psionic and martial power sources? These mechanical differences give weight to the fiction. [/QUOTE]
