[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 9473722, member: 27957"] A bespectacled researcher delves into tomes of arcane knowledge and forbidden lore. They're working to uncover the hidden secrets of the cosmos, secrets that will let them wield magical power of great potency. Some would say their skills are unnatural, and that their magics call up things best left slumbering. But they care not, and continue their research. Quick, is that a Warlock or a Wizard? Because right now it's clearly a Wizard, and that clarity is something the Devs value. A spellcaster who attained their power through study and research is a Wizard, while a Warlock is one who did it by negotiating a Pact. A Warlock gains strength from who they know, not what they know. Could I see an alternative version of D&D where Wizards and Warlocks were fused into one class? Absolutely. It'd be something closer to the real world historical conception of necromancers as a learned man who could command the spirits of the dead to perform magical services for them. But we're talking about a D&D where all the classes are shuffled around. Having Warlocks as a Cha caster keeps their identity clearly differentiated from Wizards. I respect and appreciate that.
