[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7330038, member: 6704184"] I get where you’re coming from, but frankly I think that is more complex to understand than using distinct classes, and keeping things like power source somewhat behind the scenes. Power sources are useful, for sure. Wizards get all arcane spells, cleric get all divine, druids get all primal, would make sense. At some point, though, you’ve got “martial” classes in an umbrella getting features that don’t make sense for them, or “defenders” in an umbrella getting features that don’t make sense for them. Rogues and monks both get evasion, and that makes sense, but they get very little else the same, which also makes sense. If monks go under the same umbrella as fighters, they don’t get what, armor and weapon proficiencies of a fighter? Maybe they are under the Psionics umbrella, in which case they get the base stuff of a Mystic, basically? Or, ya just build eachclass, making decisions on a case by case basis, instead of having to fight against incidental shoehorning situations. [/QUOTE]
