The Problem:
I think it's important that players have ways to know which characters are currently in possession of source points and therefore have access to source powered abilities. This is especially so in Arena because if you let one source-powered character get through your defense it can very well be GG the next turn. While players can manually track who has what with careful observations and pen and paper it becomes extremely difficult when there are more than 2 characters per player and more than three teams duking it out.
Proposed Solution:
Generate a visual glow around a character that has source point(s). The intensity of the glow goes up as the number of source point he possesses goes up. Obviously this is only visible if the character himself is visible (so a sneaky rogue can still carry out the dreaded mortal blow ambush).
An alternative solution is to display the number of source points the character has in the character sheet displayed from "examination" as part of the basic information (ie: doesn't require any points in loremaster to show up). IMO this feels a bit too clunky though.
