A Fighter can be a Knight like a Wizard can be an Illusionist or a Thief can be a Charlatan. Or you could just have a Fighter who is a Fighter...getting whatever a Fighter gets with no specialty or whatever it would be called...and play just fine.A Barbarian is a Barbarian...but you could opt to have a "Bear Totem Barbarian" if you wanted that extra step/layer of stuff.A Warlock is a Warlock. Off the top of my head, they'd get the Mage HP/HD, whatever generic/overarching Mage stuff there is which I imagine wouldn't include anything other than Arcane Spell Use. They'd get their own "at will" casting mechanic that is fluffed through a pact with some patron, and [since its up to me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ] invocations (since that's really no different mechanically than a cleric Channeling Divinity in addition to their spell use)...but there's no reason they would have what the Wizard or Sorcerer characters have (other than the overarching Mage features)...and then, you could opt to have/detail yourself as a "Devil Pact Warlock" if you wanted that extra step/layer of stuff.And, just for the record, I don't know what Mr. Mearls was thinking and possibly he misspoke, that "Scribe Scrolls" and "Brew Potions" are facets of the "Mage class". I disagree with that. Maybe he meant they are built into "Wizardry"? Then that's fine.Sorcerers are just "making magic happen" so there's no reason they would be/know how to scribe (or actually "know with words") spells (unless they specifically took the skill/feat/whatever). Brewing potions could work though. And the reverse for Warlocks. So, maybe, build potions into the Sorcery packet and build scrolls into the "Warlockery" packet...and Wizardry gets both cuz Wizards are, ya know, the best there is at magicky stuff. And then Psions wouldn't get either built into the "Psionics" packet...maybe some kinda "Concentration/Mental Focus" skill or something instead.</blockquote>
