[QUOTE="Evil Monkey, post: 2885531, member: 35447"] I allow just about anything into my campaign, so I've come up with terminology the people of my campaign world use to describe the various systems of magic. [B]Magic-User[/B]: Anyone who uses magic (spells, psionics, incarnum, etc.) [B]Spellcaster[/B]: Anyone who casts spells (arcane or divine). [B]Priest[/B]: Used to refer to divine spellcasters of any class. Not all those who serve churches as priests are divine spellcasters, however; such persons are usually referred to by their title. [B]Templar[/B]: Used to refer to religious warriors who also cast divine spells (paladins, anarchs, etc.) [B]Arcanist[/B]: Refers to arcane spellcasters of any class. The word "shadow" may be added in front if the person in question draws their power from the Shadow Weave. [B]Mage[/B]: Refers to arcane spellcasters who must prepare their spells in advance. [B]Magician[/B]: Refers to arcane spellcasters who wield magic spontaneously. This has a somewhat derogatory context, especially among scholars and true magi. [B]Psionicist[/B]: Used to refer to anyone who manifests psionic powers. [B]Psion[/B]: Refers to psionicists who mainly rely on their powers (telepaths, erudites, etc). [B]Mindknight[/B]: Refers to warriors with some psionic ability (psychic warriors, divine minds). [B]Soulshaper[/B]: Refers to anyone who shapes incarnum. [B]Wordsmith[/B]: Refers to anyone who uses truename magic. Other than that, most classes are just referred to by their names (warlock, artificer, etc.) I haven't really thought of anything for classes that don't use magic. It would really depend on the character concept as to what they would be called (berserker, mercenary, thug, cat burglar, etc.). [/QUOTE]
