Message: <blockquote data-quote="AbdulAlhazred" data-source="post: 6746495" data-attributes="member: 82106">Why not just call the Warlock 'Witch', since a Warlock is just a male Witch in folklore. Both historically connote someone who has made a pact with the devil in return for unnatural powers. Not that I really dislike the name 'Warlock', but I never got the notion that its any different from 'Witch'. Perhaps they might be slightly different subclasses in 5e, but given that the Warlock already exists and its name isn't going to change... I still don't care about the alphabetization. What difference does it make? Nobody is going to confuse the two names, they just come adjacent in the PHB, if there's ever one that includes both again, which is unlikely. I still say Warlord rolls best off the tongue, and its overall connotation is fine, someone that leads or commands men in battle, which is after all a lot of what the class is about, and engages in politics of some sort, another aspect of the class.</blockquote>
