[QUOTE="Lanliss, post: 7033757, member: 6801219"] [I]Sorcerer[/I] I feel the most important fluff for the sorc is its blood. It has inherited magic, one way or another, and is slowly embodying that. [I]Warlock[/I] My second favorite class, and favorite as far as fluff goes. Warlock is representative of a hundred different characters, various types of people who made pacts with different types of beings. While the Warlocks powers are flavored by the pact, the Warlock does not itself embody the creature it made a pact with, so I would say no, they cannot be blended. IMO, they are more polar opposites than Wizard and sorc, but more realistically they are all part of an equilateral triangle. [I]Psion[/I] Not well versed in this one, but as I understand it, it would fall between the Sorc and Warlock on that triangle I mentioned above. Maybe it modded its body to get the powers, maybe it was born with them. Because of this, I would say that one subclass should be Sorc-style "Born with powers", but with invocation style flexibility that allows more control of what the powers are like. Another subclass should be Warlock-Style "Got its powers later", with flexible abilities and body mods that could be played with, and probably a single defining choice that changes over time. "I got a neck mod, do I want to grab the Brain booster attachment next level, or the Neck extension mod?", for example. Of course , this is all guess work based on the couple of paragraphs worth of conversation I have seen on the subject. No idea what it is actually like though... [/QUOTE]
