What are they going to call wizards?

What's wrong with just calling them "wizards"?

Well, a Wizard's a Wizard, but they call it le Wizard.

I dunno. Some seem to think a munchkinified 4e will have sorcere with cheese.

If they shorten it to "Wiz", then next edition they'll call them "Wi's" but then Nintendo might get riled up.

Actually, I have it on good authority that the next Class name for Wizards will be "gish."

Ugh, so that's what appendicitis feels like...

I'd like to see them called 'Mages' again. 'Wizard' to me is a specfic type of mage...one earns the right to be clled a 'Wizard.' Then the base four would be the much more generic: fighter, rogue, mage, cleric.

Even better, I'd like to use the names sorceror and warlock. One is for arcane guys that learn magic, the other for guys with innate ability. Then both mage and wizard could be used for something more specific. Problemn with that is currently both sorceror and warlock mean innate guys.

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

You called?

...and I guess 6E could be "arcanist"? It's tenuous, but fun!

D'oh! For [Humor], that post sounds too serious - and I fell for it!
