[QUOTE="Cryptos, post: 3984752, member: 58439"] By your reasoning, we shouldn't have the Warlord, either, because shouting out orders while looking and sounding really impressive to inspire the grunts shouldn't provide a healing effect, either. Further, you're relying on pre-4e definitions of "healing." The existence of the Warlord in the leader role actually demonstrates that. Healing is no longer limited to Dial-A-Prayer clerics. Yes, the power source thing is fluff or mostly fluff. But so is the "Points of Light" default setting. So is the default pantheon. So is all the stuff previewed in Worlds and Monsters. Doesn't mean people aren't interested in it. As I said, someone might have an interest in having a well-rounded party of members from a given religion/church, or some arcane organization. It's fluff, but so is everything that campaigns are based around. The fact that some people have discussed it favorably, while it irritates others beyond reason, seems to me to make it sound like a perfect fit for a third party to explore rather than WotC, which is why I posited the question in this thread. I also don't think that you have to worry about 'redundant slots' for psionics. They've said that they're not interested in filling in the grid themselves, and the fact that we have three strikers right from the start seems to strongly indicate this isn't even a consideration on the part of WotC.
