Arcane Power contains additional options and rules forwizards,warlocks,sorcerers,bards, and swordmages.
Shannon Appelcline commented that the initial product line for Fourth EditionDungeons & Dragons was "a set of 'power' books that offered new options for players, organized by the power sources of 4E.Martial Power (2008),Arcane Power (2009),Divine Power (2009), andMartial Power 2 (2010) all focusing on 'standard' power sources;Primal Power (2009) andPsionic Power (2010) focused on more esoteric power sources, each of which was introduced in thePlayer's Handbook published earlier the same year."[1]: 191
Arcane Power was published byWizards of the Coast in 2009. It was written byLogan Bonner,Eytan Bernstein, andPeter Lee. The week of April 30, 2009, it reached No. 13 on the Association of Book Publishers of British Columbia's United States Non-fiction Bestsellers List.[2]
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."[3]
