[QUOTE="Goumindong, post: 4399673, member: 70874"] C. Both the Warlock and Wizard are arcane power sources. Both easily fit into the same character concepts. Furthermore, personality has nothing to do with class. Just because you are bold and brash does not mean you have to be a fighter. Nor do fighters have to be bold and brash. Class determines only your abilities and so is a determination only when asking the question "how do i want to fight?" The OP probably has a basic idea that says "I want to play a guy who throws spells around" then looked at the warlock and wizard and said, "these are the two guys who throw the most spells around". Then he came to these boards to ask the question "what kind of spells do these guys throw around?". He wants to throw spells around, and he wants to know enough about the classes so that when he choses his class, he will be throwing the spells around that he wants to throw around. Fake edit: Actually the OP explicitly states he wants to play a "caster type" and simply wants to know which "caster type" is better for what he wants to do "damage and versatility". Ergo we are answering the legitimate character question, the Warlock is better for damage and the Wizard is slightly better for versatility. The Warlock is more brute force, the wizard is more finesse(with spurts of brute force) Another reply to the OP: I would say, going over the thread again, that you should make a warlock, and then take the feat "ritual caster". As you progress, buy rituals you think you will want and these will be your versatility, making the cantrip difference for a wizard fairly marginal. [/QUOTE]
