Always did believe power sources should have each been a pool of core powers. Of course, if something like CJ's more abstract idioms were used then that would be out the window. Base classes would of course be another way to skin the same cat, though it wouldn't group all weapon using classes together. Then again, 4e power sources wouldn't quite achieve that either. The original concept of 'most things are MC of a few core classes' would, sort of. I'm not really 100% satisfied with any of the options. Classes clearly aren't going away, but in a sense they do get in the way of some design goals.</blockquote>
