With regards to Jpub's comment that he'd much rather see Poison proliferated (to heroside), Back Alley
Brawler explained on the official forums that there are no plans to give Poison to heroes and Empathy to villains. The current thinking among the devs is that
it doesn't fit thematically - heroes aren't poisonous, villains aren't empathic, etc.
Yeah, I know, that's a subjective sort of argument, but there it is. BaB did note this doesn't preclude the possibility of having, say, alternate
versions of those sets with different names and possibly graphics. But at that point it's no longer proliferation and starts to become, like, new sets
entirely, albeit easy-to-make ones.
Those posts are on the dev digest tracker, but I'm too busy to look for 'em at the moment.
