[QUOTE="Fifinjir, post: 9353065, member: 7031683"] Was a tough decision between the fighter and wizard, but I ultimately went with wizard. With fighters there’s a wide variety of concepts you can fit into them, which is good, but there’s not a lot to distinguish those concepts from each other. But the problem with wizards goes even deeper. Wizards have an identity crisis because their form of magic, the thing the whole class is built around, has an identity crisis. Wizard magic is the “none of the above”, defined primarily by what it isn’t. It doesn’t come from a god or whatever quality unites warlock patrons but distinguishes them from gods, but it’s not “natural” either. This is all well and good, but it still leaves the question of “okay, then what [I]is[/I] it?” Druid raises a few eyebrows for me as well, because I haven’t seen D&D really define what it means by nature, but not to the same extent.
