[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 3088492, member: 2477"] It's a matter of degree. Saying a race can be an Archer Ranger is similar, choosing feats is different. As well, neither of those actually HAS other names for the choices. Saying a particular race has FC: Cleric of Jimborie would be closest. Because you've avoided the point. An Illusionist IS a Wizard(illusion specialist), everyone knows it by that title and that's how they're refered as in the books. When someone says Telepath, or Illusionist, they're refering to a specific thing. Choosing Wizard in the poll is not the same as choosing Illusionist, I never said Wizard (Illusionist) was different, but Wizard (Illusionist) is not an option either, only Wizard is. People have said that they voted Beguiler because Illusionist wasn't an option. If Illusionist had been stated as Wizard (Illusionist), I'm sure they'd have put a vote there. The simple fact is, we all understand that a Wizard (general) isn't the same as saying a Wizard (illusion) You're getting into an arguement over semantics, everyone here knows what an illusionist is, but you're denying it based on a strict reading of it being a catagory of Wizard, while ignoring the simple idea that the POLL is in no way official. As well, it's the people being polled that are suggesting to add the option and everyone knows what it means. So, simply put, I don't see why the resistance to letting Illusionist stand in the informal poll, except for the personal choice of two members. [/QUOTE]
