[QUOTE="the_myth, post: 3802778, member: 20081"] [b]The Warlock's not very Witchy[/b] But the made-up powers of the "Warlock" have almost no connection to the ideas surrounding what a "Witch" can do. It's like saying let's call the "Wizard" a "Magic Blaster" just cuz it avoids too many names starting with W's. The idea of a name is to exemplify in some way what the class does. Now, if the "Warlock" suddenly gets the ability to change people into toads, command the elements, beguile her enemies, or somesuch... then we'd have something akin to a "Witch." People would recognize it, despite the wide variety of images and ideas of "witches" we have in modern culture. But if the 4E Warlock still has the default Eldritch Blast...that's not very Witchy to me. It is kinda Wizardly or Sorcerous though...hmmmmm... [/QUOTE]
