What are they going to call wizards?

[Fifth Element]

In 1E, the term is magic-user.

In 2E, the term is mage.

In 3E, the term is wizard.

In 4E, the term is ??

To follow the pattern, I guess 4E would be "whiz"?

For a hint of the pattern, 5E would likely be "arcane caster", and I guess 6E could be "arcanist"? It's tenuous, but fun!

I'm just hoping we finally get a Wizard of the Coast prestige class!

 

[jokamachi]

Prestidigitator.

 

[BluWolf]

Spellcaster

Because classes names are too long. Fighters become A, Clerics B, Rogues C and Wizards D. Streamline, streamline, streamline, that is their mantra.

Well, if they have an "at will" ability to blast targets, some will call him......

That wins, I think.

Nice.

As an aside, it always sounds to me like he says "Tim?" rather than just "Tim". I guess casting so many fireballs have made him forget his name.

Well, they've already changed much of wizards.com to gleemax.com

So Gleemax is the new name for the class.
