[QUOTE="Woas, post: 2861367, member: 16317"] Warlocks are very cool. I didn't play one, but my friend in a mutual game did. I think it would be great if the name Warlock was dropped, and what is now the warlock was called a Sorcerer. Along with the name, the self-loathing "I'm a former bad dude, but I'm not!" chaotic alignment and purple/black color scheme should be dropped too and given a more open ended-ness that could really represent any type of sorcerer. Along with new/differently worded invocations. I have limited experience with warmages. Someone played one for a few sessions at lower levels in a campaign I was in and then decided to switch to another character while the party was generally still low level. I mostly play [I]Arcana Evolved[/I] now-a-days though. And one of the classes from that is called a Mage Blade which I feel does the "Spellsword/Eldritch Knight/Warmage/Fighter-mage" niche the best. Basically, my opinion of the Warmages is that they are warriors (as the NPC class) with a [i]neckalce of fireballs[/i]...I really don't find warmages to be a worth while class. Now Wu Jen are pretty neat. I like the style and the elemental casting. Even though they are the "Oriental" inspired class, they still can fit into a European medieval style campaign if you are the type that do not like to mix east and west. They make a nice alternate to wizards if you want less of an "Academia" style wizard and more "Mystic Arts" wizard. [/QUOTE]
