Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ketser" data-source="post: 6946278" data-attributes="member: 66805">Okay the wizard probably needs the least amount of new subclasses, but there are still a few archetypes and concepts that could use some coverage. So what arcane traditions would you like to see?I can personally think of three traditions: elementalist, shadow and sort of folk wizard.Elementalist: I don't think there should be an arcane tradition per classic element, rather a single tradition that gets different features depending on the chosen element. WoTC tends to occasionally describe evokers as elementalist, but this would be perhaps a bit less "blasty" option. Perhaps something to give support to zakharan mages and Wu Jen (maybe add the wood and metal elements as an additional option?), perhaps other traditions hailing from distant lands or traditions that were popular before "the main eight."Shadow: Okay, i love shadow magic, the UA shadow sorcerer was nice, but would love to see a wizardly option. I'm actually kinda suprised that WoTC hasn't touched shadow magic more, considering their focus on FR, have they decided to let Shadow Weave stay dead.Folk Mage: So a bit harder to define, a less academic wizard tradition that would touch on ideas of cunning folk, witches or rural hedge mages. Perhaps a bit druidic or connected to the Fae, perhaps remnants of some ancient tradition from an era before academic wizardry. Just a theme that i would like to see expanded and i don't think warlock is the best or should be only option for such concepts.Damn i'm getting more ideas now what i would like to see <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> Anyway the one tradition i'm not interested in seeing again is the generalist, because there is no real need to it anymore and to be honest it actually kinda lacks identity. maybe if coupled with the hedge mage/self taught/ancient wizardry mage concepts? maybe something else, but not just i didnt pick a specialization, because there aren't any specializations anymore, not really.</blockquote>
