Shannon Appelcline commented that the first product line for Fourth EditionDungeons & Dragons was "a set of 'power' books, beginning withMartial Power (2008), which offered new options for players, organised by the new power sources ofD&D.Primal Power (2009) andPsionic Power (2010) would focus on new power sources, after each had been introduced in thePlayer’s Handbook published earlier the same year."[1]: 300
Viktor Coble listed the entirePower series - includingMartial Power,Martial Power 2,Divine Power,Arcane Power,Psionic Power, andPrimal Power - as #2 onCBR's 2021 "D&D: 10 Best Supplemental Handbooks" list, stating that "What sets the power series apart – besides their updated rules – is how they translate really well to 5e. Whereas, the "Complete" series needs a little more work. The rules have both been pared down and expanded upon in this guide, which makes picking up a copy for whatever type of character is most in favor worth it."[2]
